Graduation had come-
Just weeks ago.
Luke had been so happy,
Embarrassing me
In front
Of my peers.
Not to say he wasn't the best,
Because he was.
He definitely was.
Ada's parents met me
For the first time.
Complimenting me
On things
I wasn't aware of.
My twelve younger siblings-
Buzzed around
Like
Pesky flies.
Bella flirted,
With boys much older
Than she.
Dorothy-Anne looked
Hungrily
At the food stand.
Ivory ran
To catch up
With her friends.
Lucas snickered
At the older girls
With his pre-teen friends.
And Ryan did the same.
Jenna and Miriam giggled
Nervously
At the older college girls.
Paula ate
Her chocolate chip
Cookie.
Vicki shyly,
Said hello
To Ada.
Melissa braided,
Janice's
Hair.
Damien drooled,
On his
Shirt
George waddled,
Pacifier stuck in mouth,
And greeted passerby.
