Graduation- kai wen
Give me just this moment, please, forever.
Replicate it for me on demand.
As I flow unceasingly downriver,
Do not make me leave this day behind.
Understand my bittersweet confusion
As graduation crystallizes youth,
Tallying my treasures with precision,
Illuminating wistfully my wealth.
Out of all my moments pluck this one,
Nor let me lose its grace until I'm done.
We would always exacerbate our teachers with our nonsense
Extenuating as soon as we realize that we have crossed an invisible barrier
Laconically, we are the apes of the school
Ostentation of verbal diarrhoea is our middle name
Vacuous to the nuisance we may have caused
Entertainment was the term used to describe the autrocity
Pleasant memories we will never forget
And the moments of glee and joy too
Never shall we part mentally
Despite being separated in this path of life
Indeed will we be bonded forever
And the ties of friendship will be eternal
Not forgetting the teachers who have guided us along
Lessons we have learnt from our fellow classmates
Include the stunning laughter from Phyllis
Kicking and screeching from Sean
Exigency of netball to Kai Qi
Mellifluous chatter from Melvin and gang
Approbation caused by frequent shouts from the porn king
Demonstrations of maltose eating by Jia Hao
Sudden flashes of light attributed to Kai Wen’s camera
“Oh this is terrible” by Sean
Do you still remember
Or do we need to ‘come again’?
Yes I suppose we shall do just that
Or perhaps on further consideration
Undermine the possibilities of ending it all here.
