I'd rather.

경복궁 (Gyeongbok Palace), Seoul, Korea

I would love to wander through palaces of old,

passing through doors that have seen so much.

I want to walk through halls,

saying hello to royalty long passed -

a bow, a greeting, and such.

And yet here I am,

staring at papers, notebooks,

this apple I just ate.

I must get through two painful exams

but I'd much rather procrastinate.
