Ode to Coconut Joe

I remember how you used to shuffle
through my backyard on your way to use my hose
and the simple grace of your stagger

Standing in the road waiting
for the ride I never gave
only memories now, never to witness again

What happened to you years ago
when you turned the corner from normal
to your status as the town crazy-man for all to see

Now I will never know
never ask
never hear

I can only believe that now you are there
the place where you are young and spry and chipper
and your walk is brisk

Goodbye Coconut Joe
we will miss you
in certain ways
