OLD GUMMER
Knows where he's coming from,
they always said, 'that guy knows
where he's at.' Maybe that was true,
but there I sat, watching him as he
got everything wrong. There was a
golden piano, yes, and this was -
after all - his afterlife not mine
I was watching. Nonetheless, the
most fitting thing I could say was:
'Good enough.' No more than that.
-
I guessed it was fit for the Pharoah.
Any dimensions of an afterlife journey
were still hidden : No one knew a thing.
And couldn't; it went with the human
territory - all the glory in the story
couldn't break blood from a stone.
-
We carried our prayer-books outside.
