1.20 library fine
USD nothing
when your sax
comes through 
ear drums
that semester you were recruiting artists
and I had no talent to apply
multiple copies 
of that green book 
the CAAS library
protects from thieving scholars
never left your eye
maybe Sona met you
or Dr Hsu 
lucky ones who shook your hand
thanked you for
resurrected life in song
take care where ever 
you go now
among student minds
lifelong rhythm
remains in the spring rustle of trees
they tower in your memory.
