Nick smiles happily pleased and proud
Showing off the the very large fish
Held out at arms length hanging down
Reaching almost to the ground
I saw him standing in a stream
Waking up when he looked at me
With the image of him still in mind days later
Remembering our good times together
Never gone fishing with him in real life
But I know he likes the outdoor experience
In the way that a New York City kid does
Going to out of the way pristine places
He talked about catching trout in Jackson Hole
So the literal dream scene makes sense
But he used to reel in entire agencies as customers
When his job was sales for my software product
So I'll take that as the symbolism here
Nothing at all profound but sweet enough
Glad to get a glimpse of an old friend
Years later now in another life
