\nit was explained to me that
\nI had (repeatedly) tied<\/p>\n
\nReporters in attendance
\nof my waking took pictures,<\/p>\n
\nMy girlfriend, who believes mountain lions
\nsleep on her couch when she\u2019s not<\/p>\n
\nleave of absence from the world
\nof the willingly asleep<\/p>\n
\nin her little handbag for mace.
\n\u201cWho fed him cherries? He\u2019s<\/p>\n
\nrebuked her. \u201cNo one fed him
\ncherries. We simply brought him<\/p>\n
\nMy bed sheets were stained
\nwith moth wings. It looked like sleet<\/p>\n
\nfrom my window. My girlfriend\u2019s
\nfake eyelashes were detaching.<\/p>\n
\nunsolicited despite the apparent
\ndanger. I squeezed my girlfriend\u2019s<\/p>\n
\nme. You have seen how in this
\ndirty dishwater colored brain<\/p>\n
\nto the wrong nests, feeding their babies
\nlemon seeds and fire. For my part<\/p>\n
\nWith that my head dislodged
\nand floated over my bed.<\/p>\n
\nI couldn\u2019t recall when I had been
\nbisected.<\/p>\n
