Ohmyfatherfatherfather from Obsessives by Bob Gaulke

Ohmyfatherfatherfather (fm)

The time I swear
I never saw it move
I was twenty-seven
last time I looked

I took the money
(it might be returned)
other things went missing
some things I learned

I get reminders
little stings
someone's born
someone's dying

other than that,
I don't feel a thing
the rock’n’roll
keeps me
hallucinating

I remember the songs
I forget the changes

I have these thoughts
how very convenient 
for a regular job
and regular ambitions

I think of different times
of that happiness
wonder how you survived
I can’t imagine it

live a bit
die a bit
each day we take and give some of it

working to escape
thinking and dreaming
the golden past
falls out of our pockets
