Calm resolution
I can hear the crowd mumbling
Running in all directions

I am quiet, in the corner
Thinking about life and philosophical dilemmas
The air is like summer around me

The metal rusty panels on the wall look like
The skin of a lizard — cracked, old and new

The light on the floor flowing
Indirect light source making the colors appear brighter

It is morning but feels like afternoon
The cool dread of homework sides with
The warm serenity of the bright shadows

Is it Summer, is it spring ?
I shall call it Summering or Pringmer
Another season the earth has not yet lived
The meteo person said we're 5 degrees too warm
For this time of the year
50 in Pakistan, they said

There are wars going on,
Here we battle against Parcoursup's
Supreme power of destroying students' future
which already was uncertain

There are storms — so many they each have
A name for a letter of the alphabet, each year
But the storms we perceive here, are the ones which multiply the numbers of people with depression, burnout, anxiety.... by 10

We may seem innocent and ignorant
We saw another kind of chaos,
which exists just as much
