I felt a slight urge to go back to all of it
assimilate myself into
something I had so desperately wanted to rid myself of
back into the same methods, ancient routines
all the things we spoke of
were simple tasks and far away dreams

we've gotten what we've always wanted
yet, we still feel all the more haunted
by the lack of structure, mindless bliss.

you can send the kids from high school,
but you can never take high school from the kids.
