places: underneath my clothes

locked out of my body, again, and looking for some way
to act, think, believe--some way to do something other
than twist and wait,

like food hanged up above
the reach of bear-paws.

it's almost worse than the agony
attendant upon remembrance and acknowledgment,
this present

which is just a plain gray door,
behind which lingers
the comfortable tortures
the exquisite emotional adventures--



looking back at the torturous past
as if through a photo album, saying "remember--
remember how i endured that, and that?
remember that?"

my brain
is an idiot.
