Bunk Twelve MAG
There were thirteen of us
Mostly friends
The bunk was bigger than the others,
white with green trim
The clothesline
was always filled
with towels, clothes,
anything
The grassy area
was green as the trees -
Behind was woods.
Inside the bunk
always a lot of noise:
people yelling, screaming at each other
or the quiet sounds
of private conversations
a pink closet right when you walk in
the rafters were solid wood
The beds were either blue or brown
the cubby room
was pink.
Our rather ugly bathroom
had brown doors
the shower was beyond a wall
in a little alcove;
the sinks were white;
they always dripped.
The mirror made you look bigger.
There were thirteen of us,
mostly friends;
this poem is a snapshot
I'm in the middle
smiling like a candle.
