Leaving [Waiting to Board]

this sucks, dude.

why the heck am i

leaving india?!?

sucks. sucks. sucks.

sucks.

sucks.

i really wish i were

more articulate right now.

but as my girls’ faces

and laughter

replay in my mind,

i didn’t even get

to give everyone a

real goodbye,

there's so much more

i want to learn,

and my final image of

Roshen is him peering

through the window

clutching in his arms

a precious gook, giggling,

i wonder why.

and i tell myself,

this sucks, dude.
