Tell Me About Yourself

I worry more and more now,
I am forgetting where we hid the buttons

I used to make lists to keep my brain from roving
hungry nomad roving
like buffalo

people keep on talking to hear themselves
selling it to eachother like fables,
a succession of grandiose recitals with a ____ that never comes
I like to stick my favorites everywhere like chewing gum;
my little exercise in feudalism

we become different and I cannot keep,
telling stories like heart rhythms like flash cards
I already know I am bad at geography

I go on like an echo how I am tired of asking for

Making one more request-
forget your face is a map and come to bed.
