reunion
planned next month
somewhere
in New Jersey.
my mother's side
of the family.
each name ending in a vowel.
six Johnnys will
be there,
a few Joes and Stephens,
Leonard and Dolores,
of course,
Marie and Lena,
not to mention Sal,
and Enrico.
all the cousins will be there.
siblings,
aunts and uncles.
they've done
a group
text messaging thing.
pictures
are thrown in.
jokes are made,
who's coming, who
can't make it?
who will put away the grudge
for one evening?
is there free parking?
what's on the menu?
Uncle Francesco inquires
about his special
dietary needs.
who are these people?
