“Seeing Our Town in Our 70’s”
for John and Vera Cosgrove
We are ages away
from our high school class
where first we walked
the streets of Grover’s Corners
and have lived decades of days
writing our own scenes
along the way. In this theater
we meet again the lives of people
as ordinary and extraordinary
as we are and find ourselves
smiling and weeping watching
a play we first encountered as teens.
In our 70’s Our Town brings us joy
and also breaks our hearts.
Now we know.
