Jackser

A Poem by jinjahman
"

a deep influence

"


Jackser leaned against the old stone wall
undid the cap on the black bottle
followed me inside
always 15 or 20 seconds in the difference 
(time travelling generations)

We sat and talked
gardener entertaining boy
boy learning from gardener

The best history teacher 
could not have explained 
what it was like when 
the Black and Tans were in town
Not like Jackser could
-with his inimitable wheezy smirk -

why hadn't I setup 
my dictaphone - captured it -
but I had!
in my head -
now its there
in yours
