I never graduated from high school officially.
Needless to say then, never got to college to
graduate from there either. Could say I got
my degree on the streets, but academically
that counts for nada. I made it through years
of drinking which allowed me to graduate to
a more productive life of sobriety. They’re not
handing out diplomas for lifetime longevity or
I’d be up for a PhD. Suppose when I expire there
will be no honorariums or fancy wall-hanging
awards waiting for me. I’ll know, though, I made
the grade as far as being a survivor of lifetime
experiences goes. And by chance or fate, I did
rotate from some rigorous testing along the way.
And on that day with my last hoorah, I will have
achieved a level of intellect and proficiency to at
least ask the perplexing question: Is that all there
is, what’s next?
