You have entered the Capital of Lauren Land. You see before you a majestic building of many columns. Around the columns is a relief of all the previous capitals with descriptions. You read:

The Capital of Lauren Land has changed no more than six times since the Eastern Migration in the Fall of 1994.

Location 1: East Double, Fourth Floor Pomerantz

The first capital, great, wonderful, bug-infested. Waffle crowned. Survivor of fires. View of gravel. Shared with Kavita, Ruler of the Right (side of the room).

Location 2: East Single, Fourth Floor Pomerantz

Second year, second capital. Duplicate of the first. Ruled alone, but smaller. View of Boston. View of airplanes. Waffle crowned. Brick wall. Haunted hall.

Location 3: South Street

Bed away from school, third capital of missing rule. 4am journeys home. Dirty house. Tilting Floors. Little light. Very yellow.

Location 4: Graduate Housing

Efficient they claimed, but it cost me more. Grad housing, home of Zil. Big windows. Long walk. Empty. Sad.

Location 4.1: Sara's Abode (Capital in Transit)

Sara's home. Debbie's Futon. Cable TV. Kosher kitchen. Happy.

Location 5: Central Square

Happy capital of Mark discovery. Economy hardware. Liora. Adam. Erica. Sat. Balcony on Shabbat. Nice breeze through the house. Lovely home.

Location 6: The New Capital

Cos's home, but also my own. Green shag carpet and many CDs. Yellow kitchen. Power plant. No lights overhead, but happy vibes.
