Tom J. Mariani Poems

Ted Kennedy: February 22,1932 -
August 25,2009 - - - 77 years
Why we never had to
Take him out

He is resting
In a comfortable Library chair
With his boots and jacket on
His backpack is nearby

As I drove 'cross town today
To get my Holiday shopping under way
With my car radio tuned in
Classic Rock - - let the dance begin

Old pencils new pens
Newspaper clippings
Books magazines and my notes
...

It took only one
To restore
My faith in man

But I smiled yesterday
When one of my friends
Told me a joke

A shaman a prophet a seer or
Maybe even Moses
