My blog becomes my journal
Today I entered a room on campus that I had not been in for about six years. I looked at the wall and immediately recognized a poster that has been there for all of my absence, statically staring down at countless unknowingly fleeting students. For some reason, I felt an aversion, an animosity even, for the poster. Why does it have a greater power than myself? How can it possess time in its clutches? I found myself utterly helpless in an attempt to hold on to a moment, feeling the suffocating of time passing even as I scowl at the poster, yet there it remains: immutable, omnipotent, constant.
Why do I find in inanimation a life force that doesn't exist in life?

ReplyDeleteDid you ever think that the teacher you had in that room the last time was not your favorite and the poster was the catalyst for your emotions?
