for lucky jim (1973-2003)

once,
often times lazy
a man goes freely, of his own accord,
and all of us
all of us
will tell stories about him

like the time he got drunk
and jumped from the firehouse roof
or the time

he ate acid
and told us he was the ghost of jim morrison.

he used to say we're all ghosts.

it's funny how many ways a person
can be right.
