Class Reunions
5 year
I didn’t go
Law school
10 year
So much the same
So much different
Same groups
Older and maturing
25 year
We went
Watching as we turned into our parents
Fatter and grayer
Pictures of children and grandchildren
45 year
Blood pressure medication
Diabetes
Hair gray or gone
Death watch for those with chronic illness
Talk of 401Ks
The country is going to hell
Grandchildren doing well or on probation
We sit apart
Watching through the invisible barrier


fred
this is starkly evocative
poignant
and tragically accurate
on the never ending isolation
