After the Formal Dinner
The sun sets on conversation
Germany, Massachusetts, Kentucky
all present
laser-focused.
The debate:
nature vs. nurture.
Harvard vs. Homeschool
Men vs. Women;
an argument for the ages.
Eyes dart back and forth;
Small fidgets punctuate counterpoints.
We say,
“Well–“
“…but what about-“
even though we all agree.
A prize,
the whole game was.
Nobody really made
it to the whole truth anyway.
“Good to meet you!”
“Same to you.”
“Have a good night.”
“You as well.”
I’m so grateful to live a life like this.
