Extinction

I dunno
Maybe I’ve forgotten
How to write poems
Just as I’ve forgotten
How to breathe
And how to dance
How to talk
Maybe these are
Repertoire skills
A trinity of blessings
If you’ll forgive the math

To
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Poet
Editor, Publisher and Defender of “Howl”
in gratitude for his comradeship over three decades

Missing all our appointments
and turning up unshaven
years later
old cigarette papers
stuck to our pants
leaves in our hair
