Fellow Traveller - John K. Samson[00:00:00]
Rain for the last day that[00:00:00]
I will be known the way that I want them to know me[00:00:02]
Rain for a porter's predictable leads on the darkening stain of my name[00:00:07]
Rain like the morning you left with the international brigade[00:00:15]
A streak of your face at the glass when the train pulled away[00:00:22]
The aspidistra that refused to die[00:00:28]
A miniature camera in a Cambridge tie[00:00:36]
To get that soviet control to crack a smile[00:00:43]
All in our file my fellow traveler[00:00:50]
Sleep for the telephone's silent receiver on[00:01:09]
It's beetle black back in the hall[00:01:12]
Sleep for the bottle that rolled off my desk[00:01:16]
Danced itself out on the floor[00:01:20]
Sleep for the overturned ashtray splayed across an unmade bed[00:01:23]
While I interrogate every word that I ever said[00:01:31]
I fall from buildings into angry air[00:01:37]
Lecture my students in my underwear[00:01:44]
But once I was allowed to dream of you instead[00:01:52]
My dear defected fellow traveler[00:01:59]
How you booked your final passage[00:02:10]
With a passport they paid for[00:02:14]
With a pair of roller skates[00:02:15]
How you dyed your hair and mustache[00:02:17]
Put on a mid Atlantic accent but you couldn't stop the shakes[00:02:21]
When they asked where you had come from[00:02:25]
And you muttered that's a good one[00:02:28]
Though you were never really certain[00:02:30]
Every umbrella down on Portman square[00:02:35]
Opens and closes to arraign our fair[00:02:42]
Theory of something I can't picture anymore[00:02:49]
Forgery for my fellow traveler[00:02:56]
I won't wait to see[00:03:04]
I still believe in you and me my fellow traveler[00:03:06]
