What You Call a Norm is a Vacant Dorm

for her.

Norms are bacteria
that ignites hills of
questions…doubts…being left speechless.
It bangs the cerebral
chimes for answers or at least evaluation.
If not…it will corrode the little kid with its lofty imagination.

which she doesn’t roam.

The touch she feels
when she passes something that smells like a norm.
Invisible but well known, she can see it.

that is in the middle of the university for sleepwalkers.

Blindly…
Accepting things,
things such as barriers
how aspirations get shattered
and battered to a disaster cake.
Ready for everyone else to digest
and spoon fed to the brain
generation…2...generation.

she can sense something wrong and goes to her own dorm.

Hmm, I am feeling like I shouldn't be accepting something I should continue to rail against. Anyway, great write.

Definitely a thinker here...very imaginative, and the door seems to be open for interpretations and allegories here...nicely done :)
