long straight and normal as ever,
with doors littered evenly along the sides,
I find them impressive and though they are normal,
I didn’t know I loved corridors]]> 2021-05-08 00:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/laurawalker3/bxm14pz0x1xipokx/wish/1504378687 laurawalker3 https://padlet.com/laurawalker3/bxm14pz0x1xipokx/wish/1504379243 Who knew that one would miss the loud bus
with kids jumping from seat to seat 
screaming      I miss it because when
something like that is like that
one can think without silence

twisting and turning
on the blue poles
