[New-Poetry] Jim Daniels

[R Dillon]

MISTOOK FAME
 
Every so often I run into Jim Daniels.
He waves softly and acknowledges silently
the irony that out West in another city
an entirely different scene of poets
 
who used to see me on a moped
darting through evening neighborhoods alone
believe when one of his poems appears
that I, the one on the moped they saw,
 
wrote it due to the fact that I moved
to the city where some have claimed
that Jim Daniels is the King of Poetry
and since back there I acted as I were such a king
 
they have gone on to assume I am him.
He told another poet, an expert gossip,
this story, and it was told to me,
I sensed, with a hint of envy.
 
R.E. Dillon
