dorm

by Marc Bowers (virgo) - Not entered

It's not
the packing that I dread, it's
the driving away that's
hard for me to do
because the building itself
will remain standing
but it might as well collapse into
a mound of rubbish
and debris
because for four months it
won't exist
just the ambivalent memories
in my mind of
a place both condemned and
exalted
sometimes in the same day

Reason for writing:

    I was just thinking about how living in a dorm has affected
me over the past eight months.
