Laundry Room Jungle

Abstract

“Laundry Room Jungle” is a fun poem about the difficulties of doing laundry in a college dorm. At face value, it is a good laugh and an easy read. Looking deeper into the writing, readers will see themes of human nature and selfish individualism. I wanted this poem to represent what it feels like going to college as a freshman, surrounded by people who are already familiar with the campus and so engrossed in their day-to-day lives that they have no time to entertain newcomers.
