Figments of My Imagination

Aaron and Curtis and Betty Mae,

Judy and Janice and Jimmy Ray,

Childhood companions from our congregation?

Or were they just figments of imagination?

Names from the past, from a youth thought forgotten.

Memories stolen, some fresh, others rotten.

Laughing and playing...

Running and fighting...

Learning our 'rithmatic,

Reading and writing.

Where are they now?

Are they living or buried?

Did they switch off the airwaves

Or just change the station?

Were they real?

Did I touch them?

Did they touch me back?

Or were they just figments of imagination?
