John Wayne is dying,
dying before they can evict him,
dying before his facial hair
can get any longer
or deeper in granite gray,
dying before he can kill
any more bad men
(or maybe a little bit
later than that)
dying before he can become
very much more tenderhearted,
though he may give away
a few more rueful but real grins,
knowing the weight of the world
to be divinely ridiculous
John Wayne is dying.
