Heart’s ticking like a time bomb, thoughts swiveling in the mind; screaming like the people in a giant wheel do, prayers floating on the air everywhere as if a million feathers have been spared by a giant invisible bird… the scene is filthily vicious.
The results of the last semesters are to come.
This oxymoronic moment is unique in its own way. The uncertainty, the deception that springs in the air deserves an appreciation, deserves some words to be inscribed on the stone. So be it.
Slumber… Slumber… Slumber
I lay on my back day dreaming…
Of El Dorado, of my love in my arms singing
When suddenly foxes started to growl
Around my ears, Invisible, but scathing my soul.
Furious, I wake up from the trance sweating
To find the foxes turn into my friends; howling
What’s wrong with you guys, I inquire
As they pay back a heinous stare…and declare:
Results are going to be out tonight!!!
As if free falling from a thousand kilometers high
My heart at once, pounces from my mouth to the thigh
Hoards of thoughts start quivering my mind
As if bats set free from a cave in the wild.
It …It will be fine. Bu….t whattt if …
My heart tells me to delve into optimism
While the brain instinctively, forces my mind into sarcasm.
Every single moment seems like a year to pass by
As if I am walking on a thin rope, below which a live volcano lie.
Prayers start flowing from the earth to heaven
With a hope to make the whole game even
And then… the www is sought for
Fingers crossed, eyes squinting in front of the computer
Deep breaths start gushing… in and out.
Huhhh… huhhh… huhhh…
And then the website unfurls
Eyes wide open, scrutinizing the bars
What the…Whoo said that…
Finding nothing related to the results there
A gush of relaxed wind bursts into the air
Tension turns into an ephemeral jubilation
As adrenalin stops and heart beats get back to common.
Life back to normalcy, I pledge to enjoy
As to study is humdrum, a film with no ploy
Semesters seem like a distant affair
Conquerable with a 15 day maneuver
Rumors will remain rumors… relax.
Back to sleep.
Slumber… Slumber… Slumber…
