POEM - Skate, Graduate, Skate

JoJo Bean the roller derby fiend
Spinning round and round the roller rink
Rolling away all her worries
In only a few hours
In only a few minutes
In only a second
All of it was over
A stroll across the stage
One last task to complete
And it was a done deal
No more classes
No more school
No more teachers and their rules
Only the summer ahead
Set off by a party
A collection of acquaintances
A menagerie of associates
Some Kuiper belt-esque bodies
Orbiting loosely
Around her gravitational pull
She is the current center
Of a temporary universe
Kept in motion
By the power of commemoration
The collective commencement
That brings semi-strangers
To a lonely skating rink
In a quiet sleepy town
Joyously willing
To pay tribute
To the queen of the moment
Skate on young scholar
These are the salad days
Don't worry for tomorrow
Consider not the rarity
Just skate on sweet child
To the rhythm devine
Chasing the glowing glitter
Of the illuminated disco ball
