Amiri Baraka

Quick eyes that afternoon
in Anselm & Jane’s backyard,
Boulder, summer of 2008

A smile is all that’s needed when
caught on a dime I thought
all time is authenticated yet so
thoughtlessly discarded

& so gone now before we
finished that conversation
maybe with a lift from Klook
who would have been 100

the day you went away
