Rob Schackne #26 - So What If Memory Isn't True

So What If Memory Isn't True


I found an old scalpel a new blade
she carefully shaved my corns
as gently as her dear mother's

We drank like magicians we smoked like fish
her strange kind of mahou tsukai
how it put geomancy in the air

She walked out after a fight about my photos
balance of probabilities she was crazy
although most likely I am too

Fires raged on the Kobe streets
she was lost in the great earthquake
so what if memory isn't true

She was a goddess she was so pristine
my poetry was dirty in the shower
she rubbed me down like a horse

Tried to scrub the naysayer off me
she got some here missed some there
then wouldn't have sex for a year
