does the MQ9 Reaper Drone have my name on it?
of course it does without a target on my head
it will find my fontanelle-depression that’s where
the tectonic brainplates gap out
a girl in grade 3 Rita G. had an inexplicably softhead
section upon awakening one morning we all touched
the spot furtively some boys hands dropped down
i wish i could forget much of what i remember (Rita! really?)
forgetting must be just as important for survival as remembering
my 98 yr old just dead mum forgot a lot
brisket
my father
lost children
but she never forgot every nuance of my age-ravaged face
ape why don’t you dye your hair blonde like the girls on CNN?
you’re too young to be grey (!)
as i walked her to her grave we held hands both our heads
the exact same shade of silver (Pantone colour of 2023)
i want to remember those final years together
our best + our worst when i became her jailer and she
remained my freespirited sprite-child barely made for
these saltmines
