6 hours until the deadline
600 words down
6 times you have told yourself
“You’ll never live this down”
A coffee break,
an escape,
From the enclosure that never closes
The land of books
and dirty looks
As you scramble to take your place
Among the scholars,
far and wide
The various range of areas.
You can spot the ones that don’t fit in.
And so you escape for coffee.
