Post exams

Hello everyone out there. The world still stands.

London is still grey and rainy and beautiful.

College is still full of people working and people trying not to work. 

The internet is still running, Twitter still has trends and tweeters, newspapers are still being published, people are still updating their Facebook statuses.

Planes are flying, cars are running. Money is being spent, and somewhere someone is playing the best game of chess of their lives.

Somewhere, someone is playing chess, and that's all that matters.

There are still music students, and music masters. Real musicians also exist somewhere today.

Writers are writing, readers are reading, and some people are doing both.

Food is still being served, corn is growing on fields, wheat is also growing somewhere in the world. Food is also being tasted.

There's a raindrop about to fall on a baby's head somewhere, and a child waiting to catch raindrops in its mouth. Children everywhere shrugging off their coats, against their mothers' orders.

Hello everyone. Out there. The world still stands.

Youngsters are discovering poetry and love. Somewhere, a girl is being kissed for the first time.

Ávila is still walled, still holds people, still stands.

Revolutionaries are still shouting and shooting and living and creating stories for their children to tell once they are dead.

Wars are still being fought. People are dying today. People are being killed today.

Hello everyone.

Out there.

The world still stands.

Hello. Everyone out there. The world still stands.

Hello everyone. Out there. The world. Still stands.

Hello. Everyone. Out there, the world, still, stands.
