EVICTION




The ecstatic celebration of new grounds conquered,
sharply and suddenly drowned
by the unruly throes of eviction.
Alas the season is ripe!

Un-uniformed,
These hapless beings clumsily marched
through still night,
like tired Burmese elephants, driven by these sycophants.

I, vexed at this tradition,
Yet denied salvation.
These hapless beings march with no leader.
“Sheeps with no shepherd”.

Quizzical questions asked,
eyebrows raised.
Bruised faces in fright.
All I do is write.

Written in the wake of the university’s forceful eviction of students in the beginning of the session.
