books and photographs
just in front of me
doing nothing
mathematics
chemistry book
accounting book
chem laboratory
science, etc.
sunny lively high school photographs
amidst chirpy friends and bouncy mates
college days have been winked at
leaving happy memories behind
stacked in my chalky tired album
yellowed and browned and torn
traveled places and the faces of some
souls have departed stiff and gone
intelligence have move into the brains
of adults who hanged tough and of teens
their chosen sciences they've breezed through
pushed behind rotten luck and earned a win
books and photographs finally met
wise and brainy letters of the alphabet
luster looks have dulled in chilling cold
book of knowledge for the mind to mold
photographs hold some interesting stories
of triumphs and failures of society's folks
sequels of stories of classmates and friends
coming to the fore not in the mantle of cloaks...
