For Jim Dusenbury on the occasion of
his retirement from Lincoln-Sudbury
What if every step you've ever taken
around Lincoln-Sudbury,
whether ambling or exercising,
all those comings and goings, and the doubling-
back for things forgotten,
what if all these steps were,
each one,
an act of kindness, a pat on the back,
or a positive word, bits of love
communicated to kids
as tokens of faith in what they
might become,
what if every step of ours across
these years was a different class
taught, or different team coached,
or a great vault, or a camping trip
in Nimbus days of yore,
then all these steps, together,
would just add up,
sum total,
exactly,
to the career of the colleague
we called Duze.
