the train steward showed me
to my cabin which had a...

Yes, indeed,
I'm not quite up to speed,
These days, anyway...
Let me tell you, if I may...

from one of my dreams.
Stuck my face in a pillow
to muffle the screams.

A town for which all I would give.

not ego trying to triumph over my sister-in-law's annual tomes delivered each Christmas...

Marvelous!

Perfect flavors.

I get off thinking about the terrible things
The thirty-three year old dead beat
Might do to me

I think about the best ways

IN   THE   3-D  MOVIE  THEATRE

In the thick warm darkness

Like rows of fishes moveless

Netted on the bottom of the black seas

Trapped in red velvet seats flipping down with ease

I was talking with an Aunt
Who was in the Australian Army Nursing Service
She remembered being in a movie theatre
In Brisbane during World War 2
