I can dance in a room of uniformA Poem by Erin ThomasI can rest my forehead on an arm bound in geometrically
stitched sweater, while imprints of repetition dent my skin. I can stare down past a marked desk to a floor imperfectly
scuffed through square uniform tiles, as my eyes trace each nuance. I can follow the leg of a chair with my eyes to see the same
pattern of nature’s lines in treated wood, not specialized from a mass
production. I can sit and lean forward in a room where an entire hallway
is doing the same. I can turn and glance into a mirror of similar dimension to
four hundred. I can write on a page of paper with the same blue measured
lines from any other book of college ruled determinism. I can walk the same path that was beaten down and torched by
too many before. I can repeat the same history that has pounded the shape of
today, Or I can dance in the room of uniform. © 2012 Erin ThomasAuthor's Note
