It is that interminable desire to ascend
Always hoping it's around the bend
Graduating, "Please graduate" cries
The falcon as it descends
And yet
The story goes
Bernard didn't graduate and
Was the better man for it
Whether taken by sadness or buffoonery
This Bernard Hermitte didn't complain about
Not monikering new names for its trove of new ideas
This Graduate graduated from a natural shell by
Sheltering in the broken socket of a light bulb!
Despite itself it has a earned a justifiable diploma of biodiversity
Through a sustainable climate adaptation scheme
And has been awarded
By a mindful institution of mindfulness
A Graduate Diploma
On the Big day Bernard didn't show
Up for the Ceremony,
Academics awaited to applaud its genius
That between us may be linked to its reproductive
Genus
Ascending or descending meant little
Or nothing and
Bernard didn't feel the alienation of a Hermit
Retrofitting in a broken light bulb was fine and comfy
He joked to himself
What if uncanny Pierrot
Got the Diploma?
Salvador Dali "L'amour de Pierrot"
