I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

ONE OF MY FAVORITE JOHN PRINE SONGS

We survive, some of us anyway,

by talking to friends. Old

and new. Trying together

to figure out what to do.

Making each other laugh.

Comparing movies and series.

Listening to Super Dave

tell jokes. (Does anyone not

like Super Dave?) This morning

my friend Lin (today’s her birthday)

and I talked about driving

across country in a psychedelic van.

Maybe we will.

Dear Friends, Substack keeps sending messages about the holidays. You can give my poems as your holiday gift if that seems like a good idea. (!!!!)

Here’s the last song John Prine wrote.
