Homecoming of An Alumnus

Like a restless dog haunted by a place where it vaguely recalls having buried long ago something personally precious, he keeps coming back with the seasons to this campus for a quiet homecoming. Looking at the much younger generation, he wistfully wonders if only these kids knew he was best debater, basketball star, physics gold medalist, essay-writing champ and heartthrob of the loveliest in this school. But they don't know and even if they're told, they wouldn't care, much less be impressed; so he just keeps the glorious days in his head; but as he turns to go, he notes how some of them look like absent classmates years ago dead!
