.


Late to the funeral
I can only stand and listen
To who’s not here

Art poetry . . . I can see
By your face you have no idea
Of what I am talking about
I might as well be speaking
In Mandarin or ancient Japanese

This awkward attempt at how it was
Simply and finally fails because
It’s wholly impossible to recognize
Who I loved by what you say

I hear there’s a restaurant
In the town nearby  Let’s go there
And drown incoherence in cheap Chablis
No I don’t care what soap is playing
As your current history  The sun has set
On the quiet sea

In other words . . . Last chance.

A tragic love lost. A little to little to
Late. Enjoyed, as i always enjoy your work.
