White Wall

So

I'm staring at a white wall

Not really

I'm typing

I stare at it when I look up

It's just a white wall

But it isn't too

It's not a white wall

It's got streaks of gray made by the tip of many pencils

Bored and taken away

A students pencil brushed against the white wall

So it's a white wall but not a white wall

It'll be painted over someday

The marks will be forgotten

But they won't go away

Call it a dumb comparison if you want

But I'd like to think that I can be the white wall

Though people write on it

And the lines never go away

The white wall can be painted over

The white wall can start again
