Very enjoyable, conjuring up a genuine time capsule moment. A nice easy flow that sweeps us along.

Hi
I have always written my poems with the sound in mind - what you should hear if they are read. So the broken and indented lines are structuring the relationship of one block of text with the former - acting as exaggerated commas or parentheses, if you will. I hope it works! Perhaps it comes from some years writing computer programs!
Some of my poems rhyme too!

What's the reason for the broken lines?

Ray, Tony - Glad you both enjoyed it. I started out with something similar to my earlier 'Rooms' in mind but pruned it down to this version which I thought worked ok. Some of the other rooms would have been very weak - there's not a lot you can say about a student refectory!
