MATCHBOOK ELEGY

Born: Harvey Silver, the Bronx.
Died: Jack Micheline, the Mission.

He poemed, painted, stomped like a trio,
Sang for his supper, con brio,

Cried on eternity’s shoulder at the drop of a leaf,

Placed bets on dream horses in Russian
That paid off in most unsurreal soup.

Hobbies: bellyaching.
Survived by Spring.
