he collapsed yesterday
five minutes out
unconscious on shop floor
woke when ambulance came
we thought he could sleep
through anything
he slept on the couch
for fifteen years
since his wife died
Hell's Angels called him
"Chipmunk"
she took him out of Oakland
some say he looked like
Emiliano Zapata
(more like Frank Zappa)
cowboy boots on night flight
ate uppers like candy
wizard shirt and wolf jacket
we overheated on
desert flats
we swam before
tornado funerals
he was a nice man.
