fluorescent light
under eggshell ceiling tiles
fallen rain against the window
barely audible
under student discussion
diffuse sunlight
above papier-mâché projects
and stacks of loose folders
around the surface of the wall-length counter
Fallen pine needles
in the planter outside the window
odd angles
raindrop craters in the soil
wrinkled papers and disheveled notebooks on desks
an archipelago of unfinished work
fallen leaves in the hallway
a trail from the carpeted entryway
to the threshold of your room
fun-size candy wrappers and broken pencils
haphazard across the thin carpet
over a concrete floor
a classroom on november third
