Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
Wonderful! I associate this song with Robin Williams in Terry Gilliam's brilliant 1991 film, FISHER KING.

Great song. It was introduced by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney in one of their "Andy Hardy: movies, early 40s.
