Past, Present and Future Nostalgia By Aleta Sanford
Almost ten years have passed, all in anguish. Distastefully cold winters, pitifully warm summers. No friends, commotion or excitement; No humidity, mall or Super Saver; Wal-Mart, Target or McDonalds (though there are rumors). Looking back I see ten years spent resisting. I was fighting everything here, refusing to Give myself in to it. But it overcame me. I am no longer Ally, just Aleta. No longer Nebraskan but Minnesotan. Two years from now I’ll wish I were here, I know I will. But gone will be These days and someday, perhaps someday, I won’t be Minnesotan any longer. |
