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
