The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for July Special 2001

John Hartford
died yesterday
the paper said
today
        sitting in
        Newark
        airport by
        white sneakers
        loud announcements
        TVs touting
        cell phones
        talking

and i listen for
his clog dance
steady rhythm
honest singing

i listen to
him take a
giant toke

it's ok John

you can exhale
now
