I am
eight pair
of K-Mart underwear, a
drawful of socks,
extra-large t-shirts,
two pairs of shorts,
khaki pants,
re-gifted e-bay stuff.
When I vanish there will be
little to give away
in the land
of questions where
everything is
borrowed.
Dreaming Memories
Reality doesn't
bother me any more
I have undisciplined hopes
composed without
reference to dates.
While everybody is young
I never test myself
but let my hopes
wander to them.
Everybody is young,
seizing administration of the world,
waving young arms, amid
alien music, I hope
without discipline.
