It just started to rain, a needed rain,
Which under most circumstances would
Be more than enough for vivid images in
A dream, but my dream was musical
Featuring “Chances Are” by Johnny
Mathis and vague, ghost like images
Of life back in the day, which in the
Bright light of day, wasn’t very good
At all having attended a reunion which
Blew the myth to smithereens, so I
Wonder what the chances are that I
Would have a heart aching dream about
An old girlfriend who I was head over
Heels in love with and learned at that
Reunion that she had died a dreadful
Death of a horrible disease. Chances
Are.
