Monotonous Cycle

A rest area scattered with
college students
- eating -
- conversing -
- laughing -

I sit alone, cigarette smoke assaulting my nose
- nauseating -

The sun is out, beating down rays of heat
equalized by gusts of wind

A little man made pond with fountains
gushing into the air
random papers floating in it
from students losing their assignments
- soaked -
- bleeding -
- black and blue -

A faint bell can be heard
as students make their way to class
for another long two hours of enslavement
