Amnesiac

No use, no use, now, begging Recognize.

There is nothing to do with such a beautiful blank but smooth it.

Name, house, car keys,

The little toy wife

Erased, sigh, sigh.

Four babies and a cocker.

Nurses the size of worms and a minute doctor

Tuck him in.

Old happenings

Peel from his skin.

Down the drain with all of it!

Hugging his pillow

Like the red-headed sister he never dared to touch,

He dreams of a new one—–

Barren, the lot are barren.

And of another color.

How they’ll travel, travel, travel, scenery

Sparking off their brother-sister rears,

A comet tail.

And money the sperm fluid of it all.

One nurse brings in

A green drink, one a blue.

They rise on either side of him like stars.

The two drinks flame and foam.

O sister, mother, wife,

Sweet Lethe is my life.

I am never, never, never coming home!
