All the kids are gone now,
but what they wrote remains.
All the things they've thought of
while in the school board's chains.

Markings on the desktops,
Secret teenage thought;
Making an impression
is just the thing they've sought.

Words in class remaining
Long after they are gone;
Speaking on to other kids,
Desks they've written on.
