A poet's biography of course is not everything.
This Time
Once I fell in the ocean when
I didn’t know I fell in the ocean
Then Momma got me out
This isn’t true
only something I remember
Once in the park I broke in half
and lost one half
which half I don’t remember
Once I was in a room
It grew larger and larger
why I don’t remember
One time I turned blue all over
then got clear as glass
This really happened
but not to me
Once I couldn’t see
for a while
so I listened laying down
Another time I looked out the window
and saw myself at the window
across the street
This time it was me
-Michael Palmer. This Time. 1984.
