Contributing to a multi million dollar event
Without any regrets as the line up represents
āThe Weekendā living smug and content
Iāve resigned from pitching, but Iāll spy tents
A little less frequent, but up and coming quick
As the fans predict with their supportive picks
Over 9 days nearly a billion dollars is made in the desert itās truly amazing and well orchestrated :Ā LA Times 2016 stats
The earth opened up before me
Yet it didnāt swallow me whole
It took everything I tried to hold
A landslide of out of my control
Carving its path of destruction
As I watched on from the front row
When I read your lines
The syntax and rhymes
Tug at the edges of my mind
As the words weasel inside
Where itās impossible to hide
From feelings once denied
Iāve pretended theyāre mine
Tried them all on for size
Enjoyed eloquent rides, Ā yāall write
We are all vibrant
A myriad of colors
Eradicating
Harmful free radicals found
In humanities garden
I stopped at the pond
To reflect
The trails and tribulations
Of the days events
Notwithstanding regrets
Iād paid witness
To a spectacular sunset
Off to the west
A nod of approval in effect
For time well spent
Unwinding on our descent
Forgiveness, never forgets
Itās vivid colors
Made my heart sing
Till I saw a torn wing
Steadily flapping
Despite its pain
Almost happily
To my wonder
Dismayed
Youāre expected to hold a degree
In this dog-eat-dog world
To be a functioning part of society
Tell me what does it really mean
When students display their dubiety
Perhaps, they aught to pursue a PhD
Education never mattered much to me
I just wanted the rewards and treats
That came with living the dream
