Serina is the girl

that she's always, never been.

Although rushed and hushed, she

effortlessly glides through Hamlet,

then Oedipus,

leaving the others in the dust while

deaing with the most

unlucky hand that she has been dealt

in this, her final year of the first, and cheapest

twelve years of formal training.

And though the next

eight years aren't clear to her,

I see them bright as day.

Her lovely bright, delightful light

will show us all the way!
