To Jack Who Was Most Fortunate

to Jack Johnson, the grandfather i never met


who would have ever thought that day

you traded the Jersey cow for a handful of beans

that you would ever have come out


on the golden side of THAT bargain

who knew, who knew or did anyone say

you may, Jack, if you may


recover the way to all the lost harps and

Song.
