It is not a complete
lack of memory
peeking around the corner
and showing a little bit of face.
Realizing
at a party
how forward I am
about the lack of lust,
over and over
how it is
to read things I hate—
so important!
This
a kind of buddhism
of how to learn.
Gives people
(authors,
folks at parties)
personality.
Taking a memory,
a degenerated disk,
and showing up
happily
and with shame.
