17 January 2013
I walked along the corridors,
Pacing each floorboard with care,
I didn't step on a single crack,
But no one knew I was there.
I edged around the wooden fence,
Tapping each pos in turn,
I counted each one attentively,
But I still had a lot to learn.
I tried to do the maths magic,
Adding all the sums in my head,
But all the figures multiplied,
My loneliness and dread.
