“ Campus Shirt sleeves half out of the jeans,
Eyes grounding the green while looking
All around for Christmas nights. Blue sounds of church bells ringing
On morning streets and alleys
Are rewritten in archways beneath. The campus is clear of recitation,
And the steps lead to none other than doors
That keep opening to New Year’s hope. ”
― Laura Chouette
