The walls are closing in with mind crushing emptiness
The floors don't swallow me like I wished they did,
The tv buzzes static, even when it's tuned.
I try some things to kill the time, but not with much success,
I eat too much and smoke too much as people tend to do,
With only one day and one week left,
I feel that time stands still.

ahh! claustrophobia J. with "walls are closing in". i loved this on your blog, the sense of trying to kill time -as all students do- until you get your life back on track.
the loose structure fits well, emphasises the lack of direction and dejection felt in the subject of this poem.
i like
