For Geof br Who waited for so long. br br Today I am taking a copy of my book br to an old and very dear friend. br He has waited for thirty years br for this moment to come along. br Although he doesn’t read a lot of poetry, br he is going to be pleased. br At last, he will have br what he has always wanted br a little book from me. br I know what he is going to say. br “Don’t take so long br for the next one to come along.
