Financial Woes and On-Field Lows

by Tim Shine

On a brisk Saturday afternoon last November, the members of Georgetown’s football team walked off Multi-Sport Field defeated.

I, Clodia

Once upon a time, we were young and ardent and that one organ in my cavernous chest pumped in time with yours. Your parents had named you Markus and when your lips parted to whisper in the close dark nights you always called me Clodia. At night you were sweet and slow and second-guessed every move you made.
