I remember once when I was around 15 years old. I was at a poetry reading and you came to pick me up there. It was at the really old coffee shop, the one that was where Dominos is now.. by where that record shop "Solid Gone" used to be. I remember you came in to pick me up and you recited a poem for us. I remember really enjoying the poem. Sometimes I think about it, something about past lives... does that ring a bell?

I once had a chat monk; a Buddhist guy
Who told me when my heart stops and my blood runs dry
I'll come back as another man in a whole new life.
I told him that when you no longer dwell
If you're good you'll go to heaven, if you're bad you'll go to hell
You'll pass through the gates of Peter or you'll live in satan's cell
My last day on this earth did since come and go
I didn't see the fires of hell or the lights of heaven glow
For I wear an unfamiliar face and speak a voice I did not know
I live my life in the body of another
I have a different father and I have a different mother
And the monk that I'd once spoke to has now become my brother.

Something like that.
Love,
The Dad
