MY SINKING IN
IMPERIAL TIME
(an abstract)
My laces are too short to hang from, so
that part of the question is out. I will
deliberate no more. Everything I have
ever done has taken too much time.
-
When I had parents, I was an orphan;
not that I they are gone, I suddenly
have parents : it's all so very strange.
Voices linger in the mysterious night.
-
My range is out of hearing, though
the sound is decidedly loud. And
loud enough for me. Others may hear,
but I do not see them react, only nod.
-
My grandmother's cousin was once a
boxer. A pugilist by trade, I think it was.
Him. Who was welterweight champion
of the world in 1924. Of sorts. I was told.
Never believe anything you have not
told yourself. No names knock this tale.
-
An orange can by juiced by squeezing.
A banana, I am told, cannot.
