The year many found the needle but lost the thread.
When was lost, stayed lost. AIDS. Rhodesia.
Start of the Weather Channel. Man
Of the Year – the computer. The year after the year
Ronald Reagan swept
Forty-nine states and John Lennon died.
Quik-Stops by then everywhere selling Imagine
Etched on grey stones at the counter.
Admire the breadth and flow of this poem, Danny!
