A Visit from John Lennon’s Ghost: October 9th, 2018; Upstate, New York

We met without meeting;
We met without meeting;
“Nothing to get hung about.”
Faded jeans and a t-shirt,
Faded jeans and a t-shirt;
Heavy, heavy stare-
Over here and now there,
or was it elsewhere (and nowhere)?
October 9th
A wordless whisper,
dreaming and bright;
on this page,
in these words-
like the night air (coming through the window)
and fallen leaves
Rustling (on the ground outside)-
Today, on his birthday,
“Nothing is real.”
