We glided through staged routine— Winding lines that triple on certain weekends Pushing a limp spread under its pillow at 7:55 Tapping nightly toward swinging library doors Damp tests reeking with duplicating fluid A pause at “Today’s Announcements.” lron deadlines locked our weeks; Bells timed every act And shoved our days in slots. We were known by our seats and sessions. Among the copied “musts,” surprises sparked the mundane— Discovering a book you always wished someone would write A hillside class where spring grass imprints your palms New smells in the lobby—sweet wood and fresh paint Finding your feelings mirrored in an Atlantic poem The birthday party sprung by your roommate Snow at dawn beyond your swinging drapes A bright “B” instead of the expected “C” A coveted evening with a special person. Life’s total rhythm— A blend of the routine and the rare— Transcends each single scene.
