We Will Name a Fellowship After You

Fred

I conjured you up like falling glitter,
Multiplicity and multiply,
The detail of efforts and flaws.
Makeup and hairsmell.
New shoes.
The crowd snaps flash photos.

They light their cigarettes in the dark,
notice ironed shirts.

We will name a fellowship after you,
Now that you tried to save the world .
Are you happy for yourself?
That just shows what that means.

Just sit there, risking your life,
Pinstriped and ironed stiff.

Everyone holds a stake -
How was that blood bath place?
Tell me all your adjectives,
The same ones you used in your writing.
By the way those acronyms were people.

Mangoes and fresh vegetables and militiamen.
Mind the bananas in the syrup,
They taste sticky sweet.

We told you we’ll throw money at whomever you want
Just say the word.
We honor your title.
I know you just sit there like the rest,
Punctuality and punctuation.

If this can benefit me,
I will be in my cocoon.
And the weather is mild,
Like your collar,
With a chance of rain.

Written by Dalia, Arranged by Fred
