mourning the loss of Cannabis Jerry

mourning the loss of Cannabis Jerry
because i could not leave him alone to bud
leaves removed photosynthesize 
yellow become with amputations
like ravishing leftover crust of happy pizza 
insatiable hunger after a meal

Cannabis Jerry of Cambodian birth   
who colored hundreds of boring evenings 
with lingering lingering nothing doing
go on go on re-examining
unaware of pretension writing for others
naively inspiring no one but myself

take away the edge, Cannabis Jerry
lead me astray lost in wisdom
me and Jerry chugging along on the brain-train
just a lonely refrain on the piano
not going to Memphis in the meantime
where life has crushed Jerry out
