Final Exam
We stream in
Sauntering
Frenetic
Panicked
And a few late
Organized arrangement
Familiar surroundings
Quickly exchanged pleasantries
Just as quickly ignored
The air is filled
With a different energy
A chaotic mix
Of stress
Confidence
And nonchalance
Preparation
Instruments aligned
Tools of precision
And correction
Will mistakes be avoided
Or will they compound
Who will survive
A shuffling of feet
Uncertainty
Legs rhythmically bounce
Heels and toes drum
A message
A plea to the unknown
Is this the end
How did I get here
I am alone in the crowd
Desperate for rescue
But left alone
Marooned
With few provisions
Reviewing orders
Rehearsed processes
As a team
United
Drowning individually
The hunt begins
Pay others no mind
Success is in reach
Where are they
Down which path
Foreign territory
Yet somehow familiar
Grasping at dreams
Unable to discern details
Fleeting
Momentary
Gone
The clock
Vigilant watchman
Ever present
Judging
Pressuring
Monitoring
Time escapes my grasp
Like clutching at wind
Then a spark
Inspiration
The correct path
Illuminated
Proceed with caution
Pitfalls and snares
Skulk among shadows
Awaiting
A delectable morsel
However
They shall hunger
Today
Emerging
Uncertain victory
The wait begins
For final confirmation
