In a hostel
we kids collected
unused papers
towards the
final exams
from each
notebook
To bind
them
for next year's
rough book
I hadnt figured
where I would
get them bound
I started my
stack
All was fair
barter
snacks for papers
My rivals
complained
to the sister
In front of
all the kids
she asked me
how I got my
papers
I hadnt done
anything wrong
I got hit
and I peed
When the stack becomes big
the book gets unweildy

Ted Kooser in The poetry Home Repair Manual suggests that for each poem we shuld hav atleast one imaginary reader. For this one, I dont know who th reader is, but I know who the reader is not - a person with no hostel experience.
And I raised my hand in return
