SoCS May 11, 2024

Loan me your ears she might have said

Her graduation “speech” was a thing of dread

It was her private lone compilation

Words offered as a declaration

Of personal regards to her every family member

No connection to the ceremony whatsoever

And then came a reader of the grad’s names

She must have been on some slowed down game

Dragging the names out in long succession, so maudlin

Then watched slowly for every grad’s master stoles they were cloaked in

I’m only glad I’m not there in person

Couldn’t stand it- would be worsen🙄
