Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
we're in the home stretch
final days of school
humidity and heat on the rise
homework and test prep on the couch
before a quick dip at the pool
Balancing acts continue
the ebb and flow of work,
school and play crash
like waves on the shore
Riding in on the tides
are an onslaught of special events:
Wacky Hair Day at dawn
Foosball at work to celebrate FIFA,
chilled grocery store bouquets at dusk;
tuxedo shirts and ankle-length
black skirts at night
for year-end concerts
in the packed auditorium
On the cusp of something,
change, or is it freedom?
Everything feels a little blurry,
frenetic
is it all the sugar
in the year-end treats
or is it the thrum
of chaos vibrating all about?
So much to cram in
to the next three weeks
how to get through it all?
You've got this.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
blast
off!
