I used to be an
Angry young man, now
I am a bitter
Old man; I might
Have been dangerous
If I had only acquired
A little ambition,
Nothing would surprise
My junior high
School gym teacher
Or the reunion committee
Sending an invitation to
My mother’s address from
Twenty years ago
There is something that
They know, that everyone
(Else) seems to know. My
Daughter wants to be
Both a doctor and
A crossing guard.
