the reunion

the high school reunion
committee
is relentless.

Elaine never lets up, year
after year
making plans

to gather and celebrate.
but

attendance has dwindled.
death and distance
has taken its toll.

is there a teacher left alive?

there is no one
there i'd

like to see again. no true
friends. no desire to see how
we all have

aged. but maybe, just
maybe

i'll do a quick drive by.
