REUNION, a poem

         

         Sixteen aging men sat down

          to lunch at The Water Club

          drawn by memories of the prep

          urged to be there by Gerry McCabe

          the catalyst of the gathering

         

          They left Fordham Prep in ’52

          as boys those 65 years ago  

          some stayed close through the decades

          others, like me, went their separate ways

          yet reuniting again and again

          Gerry, a basketball star

          in his happy prep school days

          sitting somewhere in North Carolina

          is our facilitator

          and herald of our next lives

                                                ( July 7, 2017)
