The Small Collegiate Reunion
We spent the day together reliving
old stories of collegiate escapades
Reunions, however small, resurrect
vigor that dies on the vine of retirement
Wrinkles and hair define with prominence
updating mental avatars
But personalities remain unchanged
while living on the carpet of decline
The last time we met all was before us
and now it is mostly behind
Profound is the difference
Pronounced is the movement
that time forces men to follow
as death captures the weak
while others languish
while living on the carpet of decline
