Pseudomnesia
Carnage crash of crowded commuter trains
Darting swiftly through the press of craft,
Dodging junks and sampans as she came
Judges were unable to guess his parentage
And hoped he had not sired many offspring.
In 1949 an experimental model flew non-stop
Despite a record fall of snow
Snowy-white, double-thick, home-kitchen fresh
Dead pedestrian lies in doorway
Crushed by steam from a bursting pipe.
A basic item of civilized clothing is shoes
Worn to keep out other people’s feet,
Broken glass, heroism and human failure
A strange city and very eerie at night
Police patrol at a water hole on the fringe of the desert.
