A Retrospective

The tarp has been pulled from the sacred grounds
that once housed thousands of adolescent souls of distinct commonalities,
besieged by circumstances that placated a society systemically hindered
by the growing population of orphanhood ...

Although St. Agatha fleets in lasting retreat,
I surmise that her grounds will continue to provide a source of serenity
for the youth and leisure promenade that graze her soil for years on end ...

In retrospect, every now and then when I care to
fondly retrieve the innocence of my formative years,
I can still see those dartingly little tadpoles I once caught
(in cutoff waxed milk containers) near Brookside
and feel blessed to have been a leaf from a

"Once Upon A Time"...
