In this poem, I reflect on an old and very special schoolmate.
Did you like Patty Beck?

The saddest words

I've ever heard.



In long lost days

of adolescent ways

she was my dream.





An angel in burnt orange,

a puffy grin, a shy boy's wink

the things we made

the other kids think.





Did you like Patty Beck?

Funny it seems,

in lonely dreams

of love unfilled,

but never stilled,

yes I did.
