7/28- White Out, Black Out

Oblique Strategy: Mechanize something idiosyncratic

7- White Out, Black Out

Tile ceiling
Sunken, shaken
Looks just like a padded cell

Years of cache and contraband
Has lead it to appear unwell

How many grads who came before us
Have used this hiding space?

Though the contents have changed
Insides rearranged
Each have left behind a trace

And each have left behind some wisdom
In their rush to toss their cap

Simultaneously in catching the train
Many neglect to mind the gap

So regardless of the line you take
If any line at all

We end up in a cell of some sorts
