I went to a
famous man’s funeral.
I didn’t
recognize the young people because of their youth
and I
didn’t recognize the old people because they had aged.
If there
were a police lineup for me today,
I’d have a
hard time identifying myself.
They’d need
to have photos of me
that were
posted up
at all the
stations of my life
in the days
when I was wanted.
