high school
reunion.
it's at Cracker Barrel this time.
there's wheel chair
access
and a nurse on duty
with a defibrillator.
plenty of handicap
parking.
Cindy, the head of the cheerleaders
is in her uniform,
it still fits, she says
cheerfully as she shakes
our hands and pins
our names to our shirts
and blouses.
there's ten of us, out of a
class of five hundred and ninety-two.
we have a table
in the back.
we order food.
mostly breakfast and coffee.
desserts.
then the talk begins as to
who died and how.
Gretchen says, remember
the time Mindy Liefer
drove
the driver's ed car into
the post holding up the library?
we all laugh.
that story never gets old.
