In the office at
was an old football poster showing Delray High
playing Pahokee,
I remember going over there on band trips.
The drum majorettes who snubbed me at
the Love-In. No enema for you,
you naughty boy. The cheerleaders
married the doctors and the lawyers.
I hope you’re happy now, dear.
The Captain of the Football Team
married the Homecoming Queen.
Cybill Shepherd and Jeff Bridges.
I was alive at the 50th reunion, in 2007,
but was not able to attend, owing to
being flat on my ass, busted.
But married for 40 years to the same person.
The lovely Brenda Brown, mother of Owen and Balder.
