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
