Analysis of The School Building
That old yellow school building,
Small windows, iron entrance,
the narrow path.
All I found in the video clipping.
It was sent by my old pal
who is still there.
but I am far from my past.
Only vision let me near.
When I close my outward eyes.
Open the inward.
Still, I hear bedlams
Of frolicking boys.
Many of my old pals
are still alive.
Few of them are no more.
But in my vision all are alive.
The video of building is real
but it is transient.
My vision is only past
but it is permanent.
