speciedalers and cronin
and so he paid to wear the black robe
and the recognition from the towns’ folk
that he was a student here
so he paid for admission
into these corridors of ignorance and revelation
admission to these classrooms
where both daydreams and fascinations were
brought to the table
for me he bought
memories of how he knelt
at his waking and at his bedtime prayers
memories of his voice when he sang hymns
but now sure as i knelt beside his dying
he’s long forgotten what he paid
for a chair
for a place among the gathered
in the assembly hall
his understandings
of german of latin
of philosophy of theology
his ability to speak
in all these languages to read
all these things he bought he left where
like all of us occupants temporary
his bed in the dormitory was rented -
