Children Can Remember
Children can remember
all the forgotten things
like oracles and nightmares
and the other name of oranges,
the one from before the color.
And, when they awake,
they eat their breakfast and tie their shoes
(as children are often wont to do)
while sword fighting nightmares in their minds.
Questions without answers
logic on the back of a cereal box.
There was a time last week
when I could remember (why?)
just exactly did my father
make a kitchen to melt into the sky
with not more than blue paint.
the kind from before the color in the morning
