cap and gown
today the future's going down
in history, you'll sleep with the memories
lost and found
painted on your face
is an optimist
who escaped, unscathed
the only thing you don't know
is what comes after today
neon yellow laces atop a
broken chair
pieces of a citrine
lost in your vapid stare
undress yourself until you're
the only part that's spare
slip into a new dream
and embrace the cosmic terror
all you got's a long shot
and i love
those odds.
