mcmxxxii

I forgot why I was doing this.   I forgot why I was doing this.

Stranger conversations than this have begun with
less enthusiasm.  And tasted less like onions.

The bubblegum in his mouth grew less and less
dry, like the language of commodity.  If I really knew

that I were here would I really care?  Rather than, say,
there?  My primary plant wilted as this did not blow

my mind.  At all.  For emphasis?  Which threw me into
a bingo frenzy.  I daubed well into the night and awoke

from a narcotic frenzy of shallow, binary dreams.  And
to discover that I had not vacuumed.  After all.  As if.
As if I had forgotten why I was doing this.
