i can remember
having our hopes weighed against a vacuum
molecules in jars
on shelves, staining baso-
philic cells

and then encasing them on plates of
glass to tease a stranger's eye

quartered days
of the quick and quarrantined
that will linger in the caverns of my
lymbic memories
where stitching backs of rats was deeply
carved into my cortex

and gradual displacement
from the norm was well in form
nothing to alarm just one more

assumed risk of the voyage

and when it's over alabaster
children will evolve
some for the good
some for the better
and some not enough to even recall

i'm surprised as it is
i remember at all
"memories, or the echo of a dream; who can ever really be sure..."
