Pathways

I've met my old friends again recently at a noon-lunch
After much cheery reception and sating the munch,
We talked where we were, what we're doing nowadays
One's a disciple of mechanical engineering that pays
Another one guides foreign learners to the university
Campus, he learns physiology to fullest capacity.
A third works in a biology lab sequencing DNA
Searching the marks of ancestors of green algae.
The fourth moved from the Burnaby mountains
To UBC, studying summer econ by the fountains.
How diverse we split. It's been only a couple years.
I wonder next two decades. We'll have changed.
Future us would laugh at current us over a couple beers.
Laugh at our joys, pains, burdens that we managed.

I look forward to that day.
But I also still love today.
