• Deadline dissolves overnight

  One phone call,
  One bombshell.
  (Life is full of shocks and surprises.)
  
  Ten thousand words, due one week's notice,
  Candidature defense next week.
  (You can do it, roomie!)
  
  My ten to fifteen pages pales,
  Discolours in comparison.
  (Same deadline, the first of a string.)
  
  Two postgrads permanently stationed in front of laptops,
  The combined academic output rockets sky-high.
  (Guess which room...)
  
  Final few weeks of the semester,
  Two disciplines, Third Sem and First Sem, respectively.
  (Nod and How d'ye do.)
