spent on numerous terraces
bare, not particularly clean
hardly any difference in the lot
a stray mattress for sitting
a rickety table for alcohol,
the cheapest available, mind you
a meagre string of fairy lights
generally a tussle over music
hungry college kids
thrown into the world
greedily lapping up every
bit, unbridled
singing, dancing, kissing
long into the
not-so-dark night
until the pale sun reappeared
then groggily making their way
back to class, already
on the lookout for
the next north campus night.
