so often we depend on what we can't see
the Rick Moranis who is living under our bed
and the patient subway driver
saluting our corpse
it's the glove over the dark
serene
unknowable and free
loving you
even in death
when we watch and wait
for all the quiet things to come awake
Rick Moranis is a Canadian comedian best known for a series of horror-comic films such as "Ghostbusters" (1984), "Little Shop of Horrors" (1986), and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989), in which he played nerdy characters haplessly confronting abnormal events.
