Heard long before being seen
he comes bearing music
full on

No holding back with this guy

All around are instantly entranced
distracted from that which is dealt
as well as dealt with
daily in this place

This mad house

Right minds found here
only dead

But for this short time
the pain seems almost bearable
the afflicted feel so much less so
for this while and then…

He’s gone
off in his taxi to wherever
he may be bound

More joy
sure to be found

As he passes I’m not surprised as I see
Kanaka Maoli smiling at me

——

Blessed…
