Sound Associations

Laurie Anderson
is a name I haven’t thought of
since the mid 1980’s
but the sound of
rhythmic snoring
and my own heartbeat,
you know the sound you hear
when you put your hand against your
earsmashedintoapillow
and you hear the
boom-boom-boom
of your own heart,
makes me think of her.

Funny where the mind goes
at four am when nothing
holds it back.

“and when justice is gone,
there’s always mom,
‘hi mom.’…”

Why do all the coats have

ears like little polar bears
