We’re Still Talking About You
Never the guy who would write
Something, always the subject
Who was written about, think
McMurphy, Moriarty,
Cody, clinging to belief
In reincarnation, the
Idea of sex, driving
The bus, the Hudson, Packard,
Digging the jazz, the weak tea,
Changing tires like a ballet,
Dreaming his alley shadow
Drunken daddy, wondering
The Frisco train tracks in search
Of the empty answer, nothing
Is nothing, the holy goof,
The sad horseless cowboy,
Fifty-six years after death,
We’re still talking about you.
