On my 74th Birthday
The
eternal magic of eternal things
sends the dreamer out into the world
-Rod McKuen, “January 2”
I didn’t mean
to be 74
That wasn’t
part of my master plan
To be young
forever, cooler each year
But suddenly
I’ve become invisible
Once upon a
time and long ago
I drove my old
MG to California
A sleeping
bag, a few books, a few poems
A portable
typewriter, some portable dreams
I remember
breaking down in Tucson
But best of
all, I remember the dreams
