palo alto, alaska
(read to the tune of alaska by maggie rogers. turns out rehab by amy winehouse also fits that tune.)
i was walking / through icy streams that / took my breath away
they tried to make me / go to rehab / but i’ll be home with ray
a tiki bar right / under anna’s / lab in shriram’s maze
steps lead out to / the drinking hole where / equad takes its break
i sit in shade on / a man-made hilltop / judging postdocs’ gaits
headaches come and / go but this place / will always stay the same
