I lost much waiting for you to die
and it seemed like forever
were you ever really here
I recall your Dracula slicked back hair look
your sideburns years
but it wasn’t until I saw
the innumerable sport jackets
and funny rude odd t shirts
the coffee table art books
travel guides
all the things you once were
and were no longer
gathered in the middle of a dumpster
to be taken away
that I really knew you
it never occurred to me
that I would wish to seek your advice
but that’s how it goes
I need your help figuring out what’s left
of my time but
I didn’t know I would
until I took part
in the erasing of yours
