I dreamt of you

In a cold place 

Surrounded by the sea of nothing

You who were so succinct 

In every waking moment

Was left speechless

After I'd driven from Newark airport

In a fifty dollar Uber 

By a gal named Vanny

I had made jokes to a four year old 

"My names Vinny. I'm from NY. I'm here about the, the uh, the thing"

Who said "You're Uncle Doug!"

But now your hand was bleeding badly

Later you said you hadn't

Eaten anything really all that day 

As we had haddock and salmon

In a very crowded small town restaurant
