American Pilgrimage Intro
Five machines sat humming, ready to begin.
On the road to the future but with headlights rather dim,
the driver yelled, "Harvard" and slammed shut the door.
With the five and their carry-ons, there was not room for more.
Now Harvard was known for taking the big and the small,
the brains, the jocks, the partiers, the artsy, the withdrawn, everyone and all.
Each student came with their own intentions,
but never had a group come with so many preventions
of living joyously and finding success.
This group was doomed but couldn't care less.
