Making It
Making It
I’ve made it
four years of diligent study,
the highest peaks, Mount Kilimanjaro is cold, Mount Everest is colder, heights climbed yet oxygen gained?
Fundamental English, literature arithmetic “You’d better smile” , science, chemistry school,
Conquered.
Success boon, of a 4 point scale I place a 3 and 8
King of The Day.
Mommy, Daddy each with box heads one eyes ,arm linked held tight, flash
Both brother sisters delight, reminiscing their crossing of the desert, High School buildings then and now.
Streets clear, confetti rain down, crowd shout my name, accomplishment.
Time for the big dinner.
Table reaching four corners of the globe, “Yes, there was some Chinese food”.
Scientific classification,
it had hoofs, that had three stomachs, the last portion over the fence.
Stomachs inflate,
Daddy sits telling tales, mermaids and men of his years
Shoulder bounce, laughter, roar.
32 multiplied by 5, 160 rolling,
Smiles
Wait................., What’s next?
I’m going to make it again.
