Description
after class,
the gray classroom rests.
desks littered in neat disarray:
they are bent at little angles
tiny rebellions against unseen forces
keeping them in rows.
carelessly placed worksheets poke
out from beneath desks; or on
chairs; lazily sleeping
as they are, throughout the day.

the classroom is in evening
comfortable light drifts from the UWC windows
creating barely-noticeable shadows:
unobserved in the florescent light
only stealing through after 3pm.

in the day it is too loud
to hear the classroom;
after class, listen –
you will hear the scribbles of the whiteboard
silent rustling of the curtains
the shadows bickering
in a colourful gray classroom.
