reunion

January 1, 1990

ten years
have come and gone
and now
are back again

faces frozen
back in time
in my mind
morphing to the present

gathered together
after appearances have changed
but that’s about it

opportunity taken
to talk to those
I never did
and always wanted

the fantasy ends
after gaining respect
not needed now
but desperately wanted
then
when gratification was needed
to calm
the daily tragedies
of my mind
