SERVE
YOU GOTTA SERVE SOMEBODY
Resisting new forms umpteenth re-birth You mean
I must do this again? Can I speak to the Superintendent?
Who is in charge here? an 8 yr. old boy asked me our session
at an impasse (No you may not take all of your clothes off +
Yes I’m sure your penis is nice but it must stay in your pants)
Who is your boss? he demanded I don’t have a boss! Everybody
has a boss therapist What about God? Or is there a landlord in this
building? 28 yrs. later I can see where he was coming from His
impotent rage laying latent in me at 36 in a dream a giant skinhead
bellowed: SECOND HALF OF LIFE!
No way to grasp what that might mean Consulted an old Rabbi equally
oblique: The unconscious is really unconscious I thought I detected
glee Recently a grief-stricken friend told me her grandmother’s brain
was seeping out through her nose
Left me wondering what was the point of accumulating every single fucking
thing i know? But then that is the wrong question Can I get a witness?
