Zoë Coval ’23, Blue Lotus

Blue Lotus

I’ve never had the time to notice all of the blue lotus imprinted on my bathroom wall. I’m always too busy to see something itsy-bitsy. I don’t have the time to sit here and rhyme about a meaningless flower. It would be a waste of an hour, when I could be in the shower. I have assignments to do, and lots of food to chew. I need to do my chores, and rearrange my drawers. But instead I take the time to notice all of the blue lotus imprinted on my bathroom wall.
