Finally there is a poem
because it is warm today
and spring and because
I am having lunch with Elizabeth
and the Clara Lemlich Awards
are soon and yesterday
I had my first hypnosis session
haven’t yet been hypnotized
she needed information first
what was my mother like
could I describe my childhood
what would I say about my life
my life is a long poem
I replied and she said
what’s in the poem and I said
tomorrow you’ll be right there
in the poem and she said how?
I never know.
