Hump Day Po B

 

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.
