Dormitory Furniture

There are few things as uninspiring
as dormitory furniture.
It’s functional, at least, and
easily filled with ‘stuff’
of many kinds.

Mine, as it sits, is filled
with books (who would guess?),
with scratches in pencil
in every direction on my desk,
a mask and a hand-made card,
twelve sticky-notes of bad poetry,
and this.

Anstey - on Jan. 30 2008

my first thoughts:

  • The first stanza is pretty weak.

  • I'd change the title, incorporating the idea of the first stanza, which is really the frame upon which the second is resting. L1/2 I think, are the title. 

  • L3-5 seem to be eminently cuttable.

  • I'd be interested to see you ad some book titles.

-  what is scratched in pencil on there?

  • any details about the mask? Feathered?Theater? Batman?
