All pictures taken are
free
(Barrett Watten) and I’m a
month behind the great ham.
Kids, dogs, and the black silhouette
of a mouse.
“Mickey? Mickey?”
He’s standing in the hallway
wrapped inside a dark blue blanket
and he wants his picture taken.
Pose: awkward lean, arm up-
stretched (askew); kind of a
crumpled Lady Liberty.
You move around too
much,
he says.
Meditate.
Throughout the day, a smattering
of remembrances. Wow
... blank.
The dream vanishes
[into church bells]
