Finders keepers, lover come home
Made a resolution to drop the revolution
Spinning wheels gotta get me there on time.

Picture album, artificial mayhem.
Took me such a long time to get onto this.
Heart in high heaven, babes in the oven
Ain’t no way you can keep me away.

Who’s a believer? Who’s a schoolteacher?
Who hides his gin in the garden shed?
Who’s got three children? Who’s had four husbands?
Lord, I can’t take this lying down.

Little Italy sounds so sweet to me.
The West Village turns me on like no-one before.
A wharf on the East River, a trip to Long Island.
So what’s with the sunny, shark-ridden shore?

Lover, I’m laughter; lover, I’m pain
Let me see you again in the light of my mind
I know that I hurt you. Didn’t mean to leave you.
I think of that day over and over again.

Just one last snowfall, just one more night out –
One on me, one on you and one for the road.
Tell me I need them, dying to see them.
Sweet as sixteen coming home again.

On Poetic licence in planning class reunions

Sweet sixteen, three times over

This is enchanting, Elena. So many thoughts, memories and images were construed in this that I must read it over again.
A lovely write.
Well done.

This is an awesome poem; you give life to highschool reunion even if it's not. This is a nice poem.
