There we are
Alphabetical
Massed in poses
With elements of drama

It's so obvious now
We all went
To the same photographer
Who never changed
His background
Lighting or bothered
To move the chair

The mills
Have been closed
For at least
Some thirty-five years

Who ever went back
Once their parents were dead
Our friends were defined
By who wanted to leave

So what does it matter
I was never that good
At catching pitching
Or carrying a ball
On the field

That none of the teams
Ever did that well
That having no car
I had no girl

Or that you
For all your talk
Marginally philosophical

Could be had for drinks
On Miller Beach
In Northwest Indiana

The past is always with us, just waiting for some key that will open the door.
