What Happened?

What happened to all those maps we drew
of coal, wheat, barley and bridges
As I unfolded our country before you?

Whatever became of those sled rides
over fresh fallen snow sheets
on Othmarschen’s school streets?

And to plum juice treats of Sind Club fame
and to our daily round of badminton games
and endless hours of video frames.

And to our projects on Mohenjodaro
and our evenings of Park View fun
Can you tell me what happened, my son?
