No, It Wasn’t The Medications

By Lawrence “Mack in Texas” Hall

If we do meet again, why, we shall smile

Julius Caesar V.i.28

Last night my friend and mentor was dreamed to me

He was himself again, and so was I

Among Spenserian fields and forests and friends

In a summer world all warm and green

In a time of waiting rooms and surgeries

Slow days of headaches and painful awkwardness

Appointments, lab reports, diagnoses

He came as a comfort, a vision of what will be

We did meet again, and we did smile

And so, just so, we all will meet again

What do you think?
