I Found Them After Thirty Years
I found them after thirty years
Accidentally on Social Media
Not really looking but delighted any way.
They found me back, and we were girls again.
Giggling 4th graders, plotting 3rd graders, silly 2nd graders.
Two of us went back to Kindergarten, played with blue playdough.
I had never missed them.
I had forgotten them.
They felt exactly the same way about me.
We get together now every year or so.
Laughing in our silly ways.
Two of us stay up until we fall asleep on the couch, exhausted.
One goes to bed early.
When she does we make fun of her and call her names.
Third graders in sixty-year-old bodies.
Nothing better!
