I.           I recall dreams

              in the house I sleep

              windows open

              small shoes

              crowd my mind

              leaving abbreviations
              the brain

              “most incredible thing in the universe.”[1]
              as plastic as the day
II.          I don’t recall

              schooled agendas

              divine rites

              of kings and more

              the privileged stampede
              unlettered = less than

                                  = shame brain

                                     mine

              bionic ears

              memory maps

              oral graphic story tracks 
              no celebrate
III.         I will never forget

              skill = skill =    skill deft

              is everything versed
              look listen eyes shut

              watch why ears still
              genuine with

              what does equal equal
              ideas bulldoze hypnosis

              in regard to the world mess
