Ma said go
  because it was
     prestigious

My dad didn't
  say much of
    anything

I went looking
  for
    Sisters

I found my Cousin

She said
  I'd have a few
    friends, a lot
      more acquaintances,
        I'd get my clique
          and I'd be
            okay.

I thanked her
  and went looking
    for
      Sisters

Five years of
  the Yard
    Homecoming
      Founders Library
        the engineering building
          and all DC had to offer

I found
  a few good friends
    a whole lot more acquaintances
      and that I'd left
        some of my true
          Sisters
              at home.
