school reunion

i suppose i write alot about school, but it's relevant to me

in a little over a decade they'll call me back here
and the hall will still smell like sweat
our reunion will not be tear-stained
names will escape us
his broken knee and disappointment
her botched nose job and lawsuit
i will see the eyes of our mentors
feel their sense of failure
i will know no-one made it to med school
no-one changed the world
we couldn't change our own lives
