~ a Millennialism
: Every year was the grade I was in
until it wasn't anymore;
it was easy for me to know
we're special
because writing the date on my papers
turned my mind to what
my daily achievements meant;
K-12 public school
'99 to '12
'The Last Class'
we called ourselves
how many of us?
and joked about counting
down to the 'End of the World'
and then Once we
stopped class -
I was in Prob & Stats -
and as seniors we watched
seconds go
oh weren't we analog?
wholly tuned-in to the ticking
'End of the World'
as we knew it Then;
And laughed
when the Bell rang ~
