For Mrs. CarPeo: Jim Morrison, Arthur Lee, And Ed Dephoure

________________________________________________________________________________________________





One on the monitor
Five for decor 

Front and center,
he has his boots 
on the floor:

Jim Morrison
at rest in 1965-ish
when it was a wish

Of the  lighting man
to photograph the Lizard King
before once more 
the latter had to sing  


The lighting man was   
Ed Dephoure 
and he did more
by shooting a video
of Jim's  hero:  

Arthur Lee
and it was a rare moment
in rock n' roll history...

That is the story Ed told to me
while both of us sipped coffee

Ten years after 2003
then I got Goggly

I found that video clip
as we continued to sip.

The Morrison images that you see
are what Dephoure later shared with me.
