Didn’t mean to let the world back in,
it has a habit,
a
history jones
she called it in Detroit
a
habit of needing
and
wanting,
the
names of the dead who did this
to us,
our ancestors the fish, the founders,
Olson had it,
knew
the
so-called facts
of
times and places
are song enough
and what they did
is what song says,
a roaring metabolism of remember.
