Poem: Roosevelt

I think my rant against the RA/UCR name change was the bit I needed to finally really stop missing it. RA/UCR is a marvellous place and I've learned so much there that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else - it was one of the best things to ever have happened to me. But my current home is Leicester, and we'll see where 'home' is next year. 

So instead I wrote a poem.

Roosevelt

Dreams are memories

Where the new mimics the old

And where the old maintains the new

Where the sun shines in the rain

And time just rattles on

Where summers spend
Where Freedoms were made sacred word of Citizens

And the town fears life within the night that never rests

And gowns do not wear gowns but twice per annum

Where destructed bricks
Were once before rebuilt

The town is an isle harbouring an isle

A silent bubble never to be popped
