A pint of aggie 101

a print, the likeness of president washington

surrounded by taxidermy, pin-up cheesecake,

invites to openings, ceramic totems,

his art department office still life

down the hall from easels,

my skateboard smooth on college concrete

two buildings down  to where mom

as a grad student had her nook, teaching,

1978 vending machine cigarette in bold 

chipped lead paint, general washington's hemp

fields in full bloom,

the cannons in bedlam boom-a-smoke

game day pistol pete frat-packs

a print, the likeness, a pint
