Where Did They Go? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Shocking I do not have
a single one of my original
friends left.

And I want
some of them
back now.


First we left school
and went off to work.
Then we went off to
other jobs or other places.

I do not even know
where most of them are now?

I guess that's why people
have so many old school reunions.
I guess that's why more people
former pupils go to later reunions.


Childhood friends...


It gets really
common
for old friends
to lose touch
even for years!

It gets really
common
to lose touch
forever!

It gets really
common
for old friends
to start dying
one by one!
