too much commencement
nervous breakdown imminent
please call 911
From EO:
watching brokaw’s bags
hauling carpet and boxes
call for me too please!
From MM:
commencement nearing
a little too much drama
for a limousine
counting down the days
soon turns to counting hours
and after? ah! sleep!
twice the fun this year
graduation exercise
three times the headache
i can’t imagine
what it’s like for brave elaine
logistic nightmare
pomp and circumstance
academic regalia
...must work all weekend
creativity
thrives under anxiety
the spark is not quenched
[written at approximately 4am on Saturday
(pre-commencement)]
close my eyes, but then
a sigh of resignation
insomnia wins
[written at approximately 7am on Monday
(post-commencement)]
i can sleep again
commencement has passed
oh, hallelujah!
schools across the land
heave a great, collective sigh
june becomes july
