(Today is Tim Leary’s 89th birthday.)
suffer the little children
i. the
spacewalk
begins
at birth
umbilical
and
tethered
then
not
then
screaming
and
the
lifelong
ache
ii. dead
or
alive
“what’s the difference,” she asked
i didn’t know
for sure
but
the planets
the stars
the flesh
“the memory of flesh”
the ache
the pleasure.
