The Visionary

He was a visionary, and by that
I mean he wore bifocal glasses,
but not just any glasses, rimless
ones that were suspended be-
fore his face by shear force
of will, which is not technically
true, but sounds good in a poem.
And did I mention he was a poet
whose words and rhymes came
out perfect every time (for lack
of an editor), well, at least he was
a man and it was snowing in the
picture, of that you can be sure.
