HAPPY 69TH. BIRTHDAY,MR. BOWIE

with love,Karen aka Colleen

 

 
You may wonder
why I possess
an autograph
“To Colleen”
from “Bowie”

In 1974,
in my high school
of 4,000
someone
in the lunchroom
had a cousin
who was a roadie
for David Bowie.

Out of the blue,
she gave this to me
It seemed
somewhere
along the line
My name
had become
“Colleen”

I thought perhaps:
1- it was stolen
2- it was forged

It seemed
to be
a lot of trouble
either way.

But mostly
it seemed
to be
 a lovely thought.
