Continuation.

The thick stifling air swirls around the room
           Our shoulders steadily hunch forward
     As the audience grows a look of gloom

   More friends and peers have moved onward
As we show them out our door
        Another stage they have conquered

They speak of dragons they have slayed
     Diving head first, unafraid
Basking in the moment I'm sure

       For they tell us a quick tale
Their last before they'll sail
   Carving their name with their decade blade

Ahead lies more dragons to slay
    More stories at bay
          They will prevail.

Hallway Game.

Where to go?
   To the left or the right
       it is the same
          One is inadequately bright
              The other neighboring night
                  To take the long way around
               is the game.
