Noticed

I have noticed

You cannot write a poem

In your student accommodation

Where all is noisy

And nothing is quiet.

 

I have noticed

You cannot write a poem

In your student accommodation.

When all you can hear

Is student chatter,

 

Chatting incessantly

Throughout the day.

They come in late

Having an argument.

I can hear,

 

Through these paper thin walls.

I can hear

Every word

You are so quietly

Saying to each other.

 

Do not worry

I am not trying to sleep

Do not worry

I am not trying to work

Do not worry

 

I have noticed

You cannot,

No it is impossible

To write a poem

In this place.
