remember
1
the severed foot
the river snag
the sierra shale
remember
2
intangibles
the two men
who were going to rob you
interrupted by
the gun
in the garden
shots fired randomly
breaking glass, damaging brick
recent
3
a carpet of dead cockroaches (clean)
broken plumbing (fixed flow)
roof tiles lifting in the rain (mortared)
recent
4
renters (spent not saved)
whine, wrangle
assume
resist fairness (more is never enough)
recent
5
assume
you need
someone or thing
bring the wrong thing
to your heart's
equation
present
6
a gift
an introduction
and all that
remains
7
to remember
recently
present
is what remains
in the brain
