someone plays call
rem and dave matthews
in the common room too
alien

(andnotmineanymore)

push handle lower
slow and cautious,
inch after inch of blue carpet
slowly comes into view
door slides smooth

emptiness reveals itself
cushion-upon-misshapen-cushion
lazing around staring blankly
at me, now
music touches my ears
closer to the inside

to one side girl
looks at her mobile
someone slides over a table
silence over the music
and I want to ask

excuse me, but
who allowed you to live

o u r
moment?
