I was impressed by Daniel Berrigan
Wrote him to tell him so
He kindly wrote back
Said he thought I was on a good way

Mentioned Thich Nhat Hanh
Seattle
JVC
Poems

Daniel Berrigan burned draft cards
Like the one that came for my father
Went to jail for it
Took care of AIDS patients

My dad graduated from St. Louis University
Minored in philosophy
Career in the Air Force
Retired from the Pentagon

      Fr. Berrigan lingers on
