Most Relate able; Family Reunion By Miles Waggener

Farther we go the more
we bury them
and misunderstand each

other sitting with our
cups on the brink of another
commemoration-- the meat

gets smaller on the grill
smaller still the tree
winds eat when they

pick up on this stretch
of lawn where we've
been remembering

in loud voices how
we will make changes
soon the sea far beyond

the mountain haze-hidden
lost thought sleepers
somewhat owl song

how we would like
to find whomever--our
selves someday a place

in it and know
be sure of what
we wanted heard.

How it made me feel: Like its a family reunion

Why I choose it: I choose this because it describes a typical 1950 to a 1960 get together in a park with family, the old grill being sat down with a T- bone on it just relaxing and seeing your kids running around smiling and enjoying themselves, you don't see that quite often. anymore, sad that our society would rather stay in doors and do nothing, compared to going outside running around getting exercise and enjoying the way life is, not wasting it on video games and homework.

Favorite line: the meat gets smaller on the grill.
