Someday,
The long corridors
Will erode away
In the sea.
The text books of old age
Will float past me.
Historians will wonder
What led us to this,
To such an institution,
We must have no sense.
And while underwater,
They’ll study the classrooms
They figure that led us
To the day of dooms.
The cafeteria will look strange.
They’ll assume that’s where alien meetings were arranged.
They’ll look at the gym
And wonder, “why so small?”
For theirs was once the mall.
They’ll go out to the parking lot
And heave a sigh
For now they know
This too is where they’ll die.

I wrote this in my high school creative writing class, and it still makes me laugh. So, I hope you can see it through a high schooler’s eyes and laugh, too.

Hi! ^_^
My name is Hillery, with an 'e.' Nice to meet you. I'm new here but I've been writing poetry and flash fiction since I was a child. I like to write in the way that I think, so I guess it's kind of stream-of-consciousness at times.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
