Joe's Life






You'll Remember Me in the Morning:

    You'll Remember Me in the Morning

I fall down.
Lacking head winds
I cannot continue
leaning forward so I
fall into your arms.
Hear me say I want to
be kept warm, hear me tell
you otherwise night
is blacker than oak gall,
more riddled than wormwood.

To you I may be
small and inconvenient.
Little worms
would be a greater thrill
than I—try making it
with little worms;
you'll see what the blind
worm sees, you'll
dig little worm holes,
you'll eat the dead.

You'll remember me
in the morning.

And when you undress
I lose myself.
I wonder who you are,
though I know you.
We are together frequently.
Maybe that is enough.
