The 25-year reunion survey
asks where my summer
home is located
Where.
Not if.
Maybe if I’d chosen
a different career
like the Asian students
Regrets are like sentinels,
always there even
when you turn your back, even
when you say they’re not there,
They are like plaque,
steadily constricting the flow.
They are dead weight upon your back,
and this is the last straw.
