It is the quest for self-identity . . . the right to say, 1 was there.

Graduation ceremonies took place the following evening at 7:45 p.m. in the gymnasium. 73 HOMECOMING 69 Hope A craving for the pleasure of the patting on the back for a job well done. And a belief of a mini-rosebowl parade with hundreds watching flowery floats promenade at half of a triumphant battle where knights are later enjoying the dance blessed by our beautiful queen. This was the hope. Work Painfully arranging people and time like stacking round building blocks . . . to arrive late folding napkins dryly crinkling round a finger and then into the vast emptiness of bare chicken wire . . . to join late (yet too soon by some) . . . Six people methodically building card by card a card house of a dance, a card house of temporary pleasure for 400, a card house quickly blown down by 400, a card house only six will remember. to wishing I could join . . . the thud of human versus human legs, arms, guts, muscle, and shielded head versus human legs, arms, guts, muscles, and shielded head sloshing from a beastial crouch to the war of glory of victory of muscle and guts. A war that has stretched the eternity from Sweaty-dusty muddy August 90°'s to the Rainy-frosty muddy November 30O,s. 74 This was the work to accomplish the hope. Accomplishment Splashing late through downtown Davenport in plastic covered soggy boats watching friends laugh at you while umbrellas laugh at them and hide our queen and sanitation trucks follow our trail to nervously cursing apathetic seniors to cheer and then learn that one car given was taken for 1200 dollars while . . . one of the best I've seen rallies-- --is under way-- Assumption is winning its rosebowl turned mudbowl-- as umbrellas strike again as there is thirty minutes seem seconds to dress for the dance and pick up the date greet the mayor announce he's to queen the crown eat party and it's over.
