In Jacko's Eyes

As you say, there's a whole world in there.
In the photo, he's unshaven with battered



straw hat, smoking a filter-tip cigarette,
his white eyebrows shooting out wildly.

We remember him at the Eleanor Rigby statue,
on the bench sitting next to her bronze figure,

strumming his cut-out cardboard guitar.
"Ah, look at all the lonely people!"
