Hour twenty<\/p>\n
Achieved at last<\/p>\n
Things go better in the twenties<\/p>\n
The teens last forever<\/p>\n
In the twenties you can see the end<\/p>\n
Those voices aren’t singing about the lady in the top hat.<\/p>\n
They are excited about finishing<\/p>\n
The second breakfast is now the third dinner<\/p>\n
We aren’t beginners any longer<\/p>\n
If we ever were.<\/p>\n
There will be no self-help books now<\/p>\n
No beds lying beneath palms<\/p>\n
Our own beds are whispering<\/p>\n
Excited for our return.<\/p>\n
Hour twenty<\/p>\n
A Milestone<\/p>\n
A countdown to completion.<\/p>\n
We can see it, smell it.<\/p>\n
It tastes like old clothes and hope<\/p>\n
Hour twenty, my old friend<\/p>\n
We really are going to do this thing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
