How many times have I searched
Under my bed,
Beneath the desk,
Through the files in my brain?

Where could I have put it?

I called classmates,
Asked roommates,
Even GOD didn't know where it hid.

I gave up, feeling
Frustrated and defeated.

I get a midnight call,
A cute girl returning my
Anxious query.

"Nothing is due tomorrow"
--she says lackluster.
Relieved, I hang up the phone
And close the cognitive cabinets.

Ten minutes ago my life was quite different.
