this is me
sitting at my table
for one
visiting David
at the restaurant
in Boston
during the week
I was bridesmaid

This was the last time
I saw him.

Just like a joni mitchell song:
"Last time I saw David was in '81"

I was already smitten

very well at all

Breakers at Newport RI with David

this is me

taking as many pictures as I can
during my visit to stay with him
at Grandmother's house
on Jamestown, Rhode Island.

David took me touring

and to restaurants like
the Black Pearl
while I was there

We often talked of living together
and never did.

my "Before Sunrise" Michael may 75

this is me
taking Michael's photo
on the streets of NYC

We met on the train
when I was traveling
from New Jersey to
David's in Rhode Island.

Michael came to Nebraksa
to see me the summer of 76
but there was an event
that happened during that visit
that made me lose contact
with him forever

with frank

the thing that made
frank and I
forever friends
bridging straight
through to love
and not "in love with"
was
he was my sister's lover
on again off again

frank never asked me
to marry him but
in a very significant dream
symbolizing my marriage to
Mark Nore
Frank stands up
during the ceremony
(in the dream)
and says, "Who IS this guy?"
"Nobody knows who he is!"

dressed for a dance date with Bo74

this is me
with my true love
Bo
(Bob Griffith)
on a special date
to go to a Wesleyan Dance

we dated over a year
and wrote to each other
for longer than that
we were a great couple
but I broke it off
since he dropped out
of college and didn't
seem to be going anywhere

He and I had had
lots of marriage discussions
and
although he asked me to
marry him many times
I can't count any one time
as the time.

I also think
Betty June liked him
way too much and
that turned me off
