Too right, my son accuses me when I correct

his grammar, but then, like an anaconda

digesting a piglet and stunned by how much blood

he needs to get this one thing done, he pales,

and then he's gone, slipped totally inside

himself, someplace I can't get from here

or anywhere, and now I need to tease him out

from his torpid sulk, or to wait till he slithers

out on his own. Come to think of it, that's how

I got here, eager, willful, approximate.

Four months of his life a man spends shaving,

a third of it asleep or pacing his room in want

of the civil wilderness of sleep, like a zoo lion
