I still have class

out of the loop
was I ever inside?
an appealing hoop
where their memories reside.

they show me their backs
they have no pride.
endurance is what they lack
they use the herb to hide.

take life as it comes
you can’t live behind the smoke.
secrets — word is mums,
i can persevere and not toke.

perhaps that is why I’m the outcast.
that is why my memories will last.
I will remember my past.
trinity is fading fast.
