Analysis of Where Memories Can Run
I like old people that look old
and young people that look young
Concepts that are original
laughter and fun
I like faces that show character
and faces that show hope
The wrinkles hard earned
youth and spirit elope
I like things that mesh quietly
and fit into place
Ideas that break barriers
reinventing my space
I like old people that look old
and young people that look young
And the bridge built between them
—where memories can run
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2018)
