.:Grade 4.Oh Friends:.

 


beginning of the year; we were so
psyched, light, so sincere, so brilliant
didn’t know how we’d learned to be so resilient
the first time and every time thereafter
at least that’s what I felt
test scores…I aced mine
must have tripped over my own mind
happiness...I felt so optimistic
had me thinking our thing
we would always last
at least to and through to the next time
but then, time teetered
came around again only to flame out
a new route; new friends
they both came with different trends
they came inviting;
offering up some moon lighting
it was that finals time
us, they, & them and we couldn’t quit
surprise, surprise; two pairs
coming at each other sideways
landing us all in the final’s daze
our changing ways
the convening of at least one
one soon to be fractured heart
matriculating into some manipulating
a mission commissioned
jealousy throttles a beat down
as your smile
it’s now a dipped down frown  
I’m suspecting some invisible weight
as you began to explain
coloring our fate
art class, getting at it “half-ass”
hitting me like we had just
“F”upped the first, now
final exam.
this at first came at me unseen
like a surprise quiz in to the Extreme
you now calling me your
ex-Mr. Right.
renamed by your
New Flame; my ex-bud
him calling me Boy All Wrong.
And to think me and him together
we used to hit the bong...
that time now gone
with you & me no longer that shared song
a former duet; but no sweat
I slid off & flew away solo
I cried...oh no!!
did this for only a moment.
because that very next second
it was back to study hall
then back sliding up & down the dorm wall
and seemingly it felt somewhat beneficial
his old & your ex-girlfriend; she made it official
she knew and had did her “homework”
yes, this I could tell was an added perk
because in our collective research
better outcomes; they appeared to capitalize
making sense out of all the previous lies
out of the madness of all our trends
now let’s hear it for
those school daze friends?
