Class of 1965, Murdo, S.D. class reunion.
School Reunion
He’s an aging “Murdo Coyote” in his ancient football shirt––
remembering past touchdowns while we’re dishing out the dirt.
Non-Trumper against Trumper, human rightist against bigot,
all the ways we’ve grown apart, gushing from the spigot.
When the debate gets heated, he brings about a shift,
repeating old glories until we get his drift
and switch our conversation way back to the past
to all those high school memories that thankfully still last
and that turn the party back to what it should have been:
turning old friends back to what they all were way back when.

It is a bit like avoiding bombs going off overhead, though.
