Gabriel Garcia Marquez quoted Carlyle (Tom, he thinks) for 'coining' something to the effect of: the youth are nostalgic for the future, but it's not till we're much older that we begin to be nostalgic for the past, and that in that nostalgia, the past is somehow made perfect. Maybe. At any rate, Gary, this is, IMO, a perfect poem; you've achieved 'concision' - a big deal to me, with very few words, each one powerful and each one necessary. Bravo.
