Gene Theory

by Gregory Severance

think of me there
is no forgetting out
to be accurate
unfortunately it's always woven in a text

and there is no remembering
because the incorrect material
has been objects in
the world perpetually memory

has to do with
human nature
the incorrect material has been yeah
but it took me awhile and the human mind proliferated

the world
things become
inessential then
I ran for homecoming princess
letting him cheat

at midnight clinging
to the idiom clinging

becomes a pretext
an act which becomes
the sentiment expressed
by all this defensiveness

I have tomorrow
off the hook

Marlborough, Connecticut--Brooklyn, New York
24-27 Dec 1997
