Well, I its an interesting poem that I came up with walking across campus. I liked a lot of the words and sounds that popped into my head, and the imagery (even if it was a bit vague), but I'll give a short synopsis of what it was about at the time.

I was walking from the center of campus to my dorm, crossing a road. I had the sudden urge to just kind of stand there and take in the entirety of campus, in the crosswalk. It was just kind of this ephiphanal moment where cars coming up and down the road were really loud, but distant. I didn't stop, but I also noticed the way the grass was shriveled up on the edge of the road and how feet had kind of ripped it up.

My campus is one of those greener campuses, but in some areas you can see how there's a clash between that green growing and what we build and where we walk and what we do.
