Dents

New scholar in non-aggressive shirt and cardy,
Latest Camel in a well-spoken mouth,
Outside the same building at similar hours,
Whirling mind gunned at by day-to-day diatribes
(Disguised by powerpoints and glances at the clockface),
All pale,
All huddled apart by room to think to digest it all,
Possessed of true regularity,
Reposed by near actuality,
And cursed by the common binary-
Popular and dull.
