the alley’s a self-conscious mews, and suddenly the Muse is off

“It’s more real then yours,” he said,
and I wrote it down because I couldn’t
even listen, much less understand. I,

plugging up my eyes—and not just to
drum up any sentiment—was think-
ing, “I—will—never—go—dancing—

again!” Later, I changed the filters
and installed a new showerhead.
What was he saying? What could

he have possibly meant? What
was he doing?
I remember him
saying that, and that alone. And

I remember writing it down.
