The cemetery in Kalamazoo
Had always been
A favorite spot.
Misty and mysterious,
Well-suited for all manner
Of personal and shared adventures
But the ghosts were well-restrained
Beneath pretentious monoliths
Wandering Raleigh proves
More complex.
Quantum years
Many worlds, many truths
Many lives
Flashes of faces now absented
My particular reality
Beckon to paths not taken
That have unfolded
This half century
Yet
Elsewhere and Elsewhen
Spotlights and footlights
Novels and poetry
Physics and philosophy
Achievements and errata
Lovers and adversaries
Families and progeny
Successes and failures
Ecstasy and despair
Dreamed or lived
Elsewhere and Elsewhen.
