Many friends posted homages, but all I could remember was his awful jokes about the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, which took the life of someone I personally knew. This poem is a reminder that you don't have to canonize people who have died.enOpen Verse PoetryAwards and PrizesOtherDivision B: Professional
