Camp

Went out of the library to take a breather today,

the library was lit,
but outside it was pitch black,
weather was cold,
floor was wet,
it rained before.

I had a very nostalgic feeling.

Camping days,
we stayed up all night under the rain,
digging up holes for the A-tent,
building gadgets with bamboos and rafia strings.

The early morning exercises,
putting on random people's shoes,
the whistle calls,
the pumpings,
the duck walks,
the toilet-washing.

The morning inspections.

Everything bombarded my mind in a split millisecond.

Once a scout, always a scout.

I wish..

I had taken more of those moments in,
when i was there.
