Oh, marginal feelings—
how I set you aside in
the interest of perceived
strength and capability.
Yet you jump out in the
margins of my class notes,
yearning to be heard among
the facts of my education.
You scream your sorrows
and anxieties in blue ink,
obliterating any white
space in your noble attempt.
You dismiss Supreme Court
cases concerning free speech
to present your own, providing
evidence hidden in your heart.
Oh, marginal feelings—
how you fill the page
with the ponderings
of a full mind . . .
. . . but disappear at
the sight of a blank
paper, white as snow.
Fantastic!
