Alzheimer's 


		Lucidity, these 
		minutes themselves, an olive 
		branch waving from the center 
		of a spectre, my fingers round 
		the coffee thingamajig, warm, 
		at ease now, now that they're,
		separate from the iron, I mean, 
		typewriter.
		Funny, I can hear, remember 
		the shape, the impression, the the 
		feel of such words, an article 
		dangling, meaning , the degree or 
		point, point, rather the point, 
		lost, lost,  a ring, knot, thread
		tied, no, taped
				   cards to identify
		the refrigerator, stove, phone, keys. 
		I am listening, reading them, floating,
		a coat
			 sky blue, old buttons, your eyes, 
		I see mine, somebody's , angry, afraid, 
				do not go 
		get out!   get out !
 			  gently
		then clarity again with god, not a villain 
		         into the night 
		if I can just, just
					rage, rage
			such frustration
						against
					make out 
						dying 
					the light
