Keen Eye

Its been cold around here for a few months now. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever be warm again, or if all the plants will grow back. A prime example is this dead, whatever it once was, sitting here in front of the entrance to the college. The container it is held is has very misleading carvings of a warm beautiful sun and of fruits across the entirety of it.
Though from those warm images no life resonates, no hope that the dead plants within will suddenly spring back to their former glory. The pot much like the plants within it, is cold to the touch. They just sit in there, limp with their long dried up leaves hanging over the lip of the pot like an octopuses’ dead tendrils. Even when the wind blows across them there is no life, no movement, not a single sign of hope.
The way the plant is treated isn't much better, what with the half smoked cigarettes and the chewed bubblegum littering its soil. It just seems to make this damned wind even colder then it had been before. The thing looks so depressing and now looking about there isn't much else that would bring any looks of warmth save for the brushed aluminum doors that I am resting against.
Perhaps it will soon be time to go inside. Maybe I should say something about getting the college some evergreens to make the entrance feel more welcoming during the winter season. In fact I think it would really make the place look a little more appealing to be in. College may be far different from High School but damned if this particular building doesn't try its hardest to make it more depressing.
