He stepped into the world completely anew
Mother had high hopes and father knew
He birthed no fool though he never cared to know
Him or how he felt of things
How he laughed and ran or counted wings
On ravens while he walked the wayside
Stealing moments though he never knew why
And when they shipped him off to medical school
After shipping him off to dormitories
After shipping him off to prefectories
After making him do all this and that
They never cared to ask him he never cared to tell
For he never cared for anything at all
But he did his duty, he studied well
He knew not what he studied but still he did
This and that all in hopes to impress
Those distant figures that like sea shells
Sang oceans though it's only illusions not dreams
Then he discovered idleness and the serene
Moments stolen from busy streets
And the magic of jaunts that take you nowhere
And everywhere and rivers that curve the moon
When viewed from the sidewalks
Then viewed from your room
And images reconciled in him a tune
Very real he could feel a new typhoon
Approaching his heart but before it could reach his soul
He failed his exams and had to go back home.
