(I was 31)
Incident on Howard Street
In Feldman’s Clothier where
his mother had worked
a sales clerk asked me
where I got my Dylan T-shirt
Certainly not in Hibbing I
teased first
then smiled and told her
Berkeley
She told me
she had been Bob’s next
door neighbor
that she’d stored some of
his stuff in her basement
I told her I grew up in
Keewatin
My wife graduated in
Hibbing and knew his brother David
She said she was Mrs.
Schneider
and one of her daughters
graduated the same year
Bob removed his stuff some
time ago
She served him coffee in
her kitchen
and he gave her a signed
copy of the album
with Blowin’ In The Wind on it
Later she saw a letter he
wrote to his mother
Don’t believe all you read
about me
I still brush my teeth
everyday
