Across The Street 2 Poem by Aron Blesch

Across the street, I saw you salute
A member of your crew, Gene Hackman.

The Harlem crosswalk your red carpet,
A woman beside you your attendant,

You spoke words I could not hear.

'Is it really you? ' I thought aloud,
Recalling Lex Luthor, and Unforgiven.

'Oh yes, it is you: Gene Hackman! '

I told my students beside me,
And I told my colleagues too.

I pointed like a child in a zoo saying,

'Gene Hackman —

'Look, there! '
