Sounds From Kindergarten Kids Poem by RIC BASTASA

Kindergarten kids
Running, shouting, playing, chasing

Wild, cheering, mocking
and quarreling and befriending
In such short span

From where you are writing
And studying, thick files, and big books
And you look into these things
Taking notes

Through your thick reading glasses
You look at time

How time passed so quickly?

Once, the kindergarten in you
and your mama telling you she will always be watching you

and on that first day, you did not cry.
