When the fat envelope comes...

I will plunge into the musk
Of skittery sheaves
Yellowed, square
My fairy godmother’s molars

Hoard knowledge by the fistful
And build myself
A papery castle
Now that
The Big Bad Wolf has gone.

I conceived this piece while daydreaming about all the things I would have time for post-admissions.
