Exit of the Wind

For all my high school buddies at the exit of the wind...

Exit of the Wind

College entrance exam
Somehow bound us as fate
Forever seventeen
Lay afar like jazz in a band

Naivety of youth day
Cigarette in your hand
Pretend
A road trip already began

Afternoon bell
Article on the desk
Who would be our next candidate
The yearbook was a complex game

English, math, and other subjects
Spiraled up like a furious flame
Obtain
The chance to the ivory tower train

Alma mater’s laugh
A novel of Freud
Twirl
At the exit of the wind

Although we will never be young again
I’d like to draw memory with a pen
Mind’s dance
Colorful windowpane
And the Mandarin teacher’s faith…
