PANCAKES
I heard my voice
in bed beside me
and thought I was
dead, or someone
dressed as dead.
I seemed to be what
I couldn't possibly
be for a split
second and struggled
to add up to something,
if only in retrospect.
Later I had pancakes
for breakfast and wondered
what the fuss had been about.

KNOWABLE
My grandfather, who once tried to figure out what the dead worry about, always slept with his future safely behind him.

COMPANY
A man gradually approaches
early retirement by
showing up for work
a minute later each
day than the day before.
He is awarded the only
surviving replica of a really
ancient Timex watch
and instructed never
to divulge any trade
secrets he may have
stumbled upon regarding
the true meaning of life while
employed by the company.

BRIEF NIETZSCHE
Nietzsche, who had to stand on a box to reach just about anything (all four foot eleven of him), dreamed understandably of tall, blond men whose memories held more than could be imagined in a single lifetime, had sex one time, caught syphilis, and died.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
An awkward man takes
refuge in his room.
He turns on the
television, forcing
the future to happen.
Next to no one
knows anything,
yet practically everyone
parades a little packet
of knowledge past the
reviewing stand. Flowers
go on strike when asked
to perform as extras. Cause
and effect trade places.

UNDER
If love arrives in a
donkey-drawn carriage,
tell it to go way.
There will be other
opportunities to lose
your head. Switching
contexts for the sake
of being understood
by someone you want
to impress is pathetic,
but perfectly understandable
under these circumstances.
Do not stand under these
circumstances if it's raining.
