Holographic Poet
The poet is not present today to perform for us
-- he is, he tells us, a holographic manifestation;
he looks tangible enough to me -- but I won't pinch
his pale skin or tug upon his nanny-goat beard.
He's a transient reflection of a Renaissance troubador
jet-skiing the Milky Way from Aldebaran to Sirius
who's projected momentarily into our consciousness.
Still, when he's finished, we pass the old panama hat
and holographic poet pockets his ticket to eternity.
