Losing just a bit
of advancing stride
in this race with life
need for shifting gears
back into reverse
to slow momentum
eager to set off
in time machine
to repossess the past
alluring vision
of youthful terrain
at high school class reunion
nametags matched
to unfamiliar faces
sculpted by aging
yet fifty years
quickly vanish
in those beholders' gaze.
