J. C., you are Jewish Christian, on your hero's journey as Joseph Campbell, our poet-President Jimmy Carter, daring artists Joseph Cornell and Judy Chicago, you are beautiful as Julie Christie, sing like Judy Collins and Johnny Cash, sometimes imperious Julius Caesar, mischievous Jiminy Cricket, curious as a Jellico cat, jeepers creepers, you are a juicy cantaloupe, jeweled constellation, jacaranda cresting and a jubilant cello.
Hang around, please, there is much in disrepair. We need you to mend the withered hearts, cease all fires, to recognize ourselves in each other. There are odes yet to be written, yet to be sung.
