The Alumnus Is Back
He smilingly, smugly says to himself:
"Ah, if only these kids knew
I was best debater here,
essay-writing champ, basketball star,
physics gold medalist, heartthrob
of the loveliest in school
...ah, but they just don't know."
But, how some of the kids look like
absent classmates decades dead!
So, he keeps coming back with the years
to this campus like a restless dog
haunted by a place where it vaguely
recalls having buried long ago
...something really precious!
