they wanna remain permanently abed.

inclination,...

THE SIXTY-FOURTH REUNION
By Leonard Kleeman

We held our 64th reunion just the other day.

As strength returns to frail thought,
Their wisdom heightens the spirit

Daily reminders that the world

The birds in flight so unified

and things certainly began to stir.
Of course, I was only seventeen,
