1976


 Spirit of Seventy six


If there was a year

I’d ask to live again

Give me seventy six

It came near the nadir

of a life 

Twenty one

Junior year at Asbury

how I would not get that 

F in Spanish 

how I would play on Winstons 

Viking basketball team

How I’d run cross country 

through the Jessamine hills

how I’d board in Johnson dormitory 

maybe even Fletcher Hall with Freddie

how I’d graduate 

with my fifth and sixth grade friends

If only I could have

Seventy six again
