The memories have always been there I never observed When work matters dominated my world order The thought of one low-level bully Repeatedly appeared Guiding me slowly to the self- referential argument. Never decided. Where did my mind cling While I reverently shaved? Infrequently, did I nick my phyllo flesh And blame the dough roller razor in my hand While the hell of razor-leaved tree- Jungles surrounded my mind But now Now a torrent of important memories Tied to love and loss Yearning Bake the leavened dough Of my empty existence

Shaving
The memories have always been there I never observed When work matters dominated my world order The thought of one low-level bully Repeatedly appeared Guiding me slowly to the self- referential argument. Never decided. Where did my mind cling While I reverently shaved? Infrequently, did I nick my phyllo flesh And blame the dough roller razor in my hand While the hell of razor-leaved tree- Jungles surrounded my mind But now Now a torrent of important memories Tied to love and loss Yearning Bake the leavened dough Of my empty existence
