I want to publicly register my absence
from the first back correction,
as I was either unborn.
Or how would such a young mind possibly
recall, dear me?
In reality,
I remember ajar furnace door,
warmly darkened garage,
back brace
on Dad leaning painfully
on Mom.
The latest invasion was not;
a tiny cut to accommodate a camera,
and other tools,
through a vast tunnel from spine to dermis,
to surgeon’s hands,
on-screen.
In my lifetime,
things once butcherous have sleakened.
For I remember this time;
the day I looked at my wake.
Reminded, it’s mine.
From a nuclear depth;
I got, I have, I’m fixin’
my make-up.
Backbone.
Spine.

From the Other Day

Just to warn
‘I’m not gonna run around and buzz like that.’
I said My bobblehead bobbles with this other vibration.
and I’m trying to keep them both
humming for me.
Both singing and clocks reverse
is what I’ve been trying to say.
Always ‘saying’ wrong
we can all
together
see in deep-/+.

Berkeley Lady

I saw a woman
crossing long-striped-legged
Dwight Way.
Her men siren sang.
She sprang and
wore yellowpolkadot flowersinherhair
Let me know if those
bluesuedeshoes from my Mom are oktogo.
He tells me to get off
of ‘em.
Cuz siren sing and shake
‘em.
McPaul knows.
They’re in heat.
