Intimate Inanimate Object

Did you hear what he said about me

Yes, you don't have an ear but did you

watch his lips moving about

All the while in his firm grip

as he scribbles the language of old Greek

did you hear about me

Perhaps through the pulse of his heart

and all the time spent in his breast pocket

did you hear about me


Or have you lost your senses

like that time i was talked to

on the morning of Gilgamesh poetry


dearest object of his desire

did you hear about me
