Graduation and Move

End of Third Grade

Black and White Suits 

and Colorful Skirts

Under the Glaring Sun


I sat

As the Instruments blew

And Speeches conversed 

And Diplomas awarded

And people greeted and thanked


Entering the Auditorium

Cupcakes rewarded and Emotions reflected 

End of school video played

Imageries of

Friends and Teachers 

From school

To Trips

On the Top of the Rock

To Mets Stadium 


Back home

Blood bled

I pondered and relieved

When Cool Caprisun is drinked


I relaxed here

Til next day

Boxes in Truck 

We moved North

To Bronx

Where new livelihoods anew


The author's comments:

I take this piece from graduation at my school which ended at 3rd grade and described the moment there, and that next day we moved to Bronx which brought new journey of our life. 

P.S: My nose bled coming back home from being outside in the scorching sunshine and heat which I referenced by "Blood Bled."
