Dorm Room - Poem

Keyboard burns,
scattered carpet coins,
and books
but
no time.

Leftover books
literary classics,
and self-satisfaction
but
no space.

A mug - fifteen years old
covered with soot
in memoriam of
grandparents

Old guitars with
dusty headstocks
that are
so distracting

Fake mustaches
and a 
paper bouquet
scattered randomly

More pennies
guitar picks and
white sticky tac,
translucent pills/
old pocket notebooks

Tousled papers
and blankets
work and sleep
and
stale laundry
