Photoverio #592: Swimming Pool + Memory + Confesseion

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

August Tenessee, 2016

I spent a luxurious hour

in this poolscape

with nothing

but me and

empty lounge

chairs

Meanwhile,

we shared

a hotel room

with two cats

illegally:

bypassing the surcharge

for their presence

We were cat smugglers

in four states of

America

© Autobiography Of No One In Particular © ... 3 More Chapters

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter Eleven

I am who I am

sometimes

I am not

Sometimes cold

other times

hot

I can be me

I can be nobody

that is

the meaning

of liberty

Seventy-two times

the calendar

has spun

Memory is

a wheel of fortune

But

don't call me

Vanna White

***

Chapter Twelve

I spin the wheel

and land on 1954

It is the Grandmother

of Hurricane Katrina:

Warnings for

Hurricane Carol

were sounded when

we were two blocks

from the beach

in Rocky Point

I was a boy

in a blanket

in the backseat

of my parents' car

zipping back east

to Whitestone on

the Northern State Parkway

A human burrito

with a nickel's worth

of life

feeling warm to the womb

and loving

every second of it

The Rocky Point house

was crushed

by an oak tree

but we were just

"renters"

Whitestone,

equally close

to the Long Island Sound

(a/k/a East River)

suffered no damage

and I can still taste

the waffles she made

on Hurricane Carol Sunday

***

Chapter Thirteen

When you can still feel

warm to the womb

but in fact

are much closer

to the tomb,

you've got

equilibrium
