The Last Time I
saw Dan
It’s only a Denny’s, right? Over on Garth Road
Just off the interstate.
Breakfast with Dan
Years ago now, but the table was still there
Where we drank coffee and I mostly listened
Oh, his body was frail, had been for years
But his mind, oh, that mind, physician and pilot
Philosopher, writer, scientist, raconteur
His thoughts were always far beyond the stars
I thought of him all through my breakfast special
And when I left, patted the vinyl bench
where he had lived
