Poem: I Had A Neighbor Once

I Had A Neighbor Once

who managed 

the copy shop

across from the university

where I was a student.

He had a pet iguana

and wrote Arthuriana.

Also, he made absinthe

in his bathtub.

I remember watching

Asian action films

in the living room

of his house.

I went by the store

where he had worked

when I was back visiting

the university last year,

But he was not there,

they said he still lived 

nearby, was around, but

he did not work there.
