Reunion, with one in mind…

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)



Of all classmates
Most forgotten
She supreme was
Reason for the trip.
Whiteboards riddled
With old snapshots.
Dance the twist and
Nearly wrench a hip.
She came late as others
Sought to cage me.
She was regal
Floating over all.
Caught my eye.
And thoughts almost
Illegal.
Just grew bigger
As she got close by.
Talk was warm
About how we had parted.
Huge romance
Just clipped off
When she moved.
Two divorces, and nasty.
She was loaded
Childless, scheming.
Thank God I was removed!
