What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Out of the Apartment

It’s funny all the things you miss
When you’ve lived somewhere awhile,
Like the way the shower seems to hiss
Or the tired tarnish of the tile.

I’ve lived here for who knows how long,
And yet so many things I’ve overlooked:
The worn-out whisper of the air ducts’ song
And the way the pictures on the wall are crooked.

And now that I’m leaving, I see it all:
The weary drooping of dying hedges,
The way the roof appears that it will cave,
And the chipping paint of each wall’s ends.

After many mired months I’ve ended a loan,
Now I can take heart in knowing wherever I roam
Away from this apartment, through the vast unknown,
That I’ll always have somewhere to return: my home.
