Grandmother, grandmother, her bath, over, smelling of bay rum & bible knows how bad habits, like long years abroad, and the profession of maleness, lead to ugly bumps on the head. So men must cover theirs. In my hat, in a foreign garden, when the leaf is about to fall from its tree, grandmother appears to speak to me.

Explored the world, tasted its strangeness,
Resisted and colluded out of strength,
Out of weakness, failed to colonize it
With family, tongue or name.

put him behind bars
in a basement and charge him rent.
