Then, realizing It must have been a dream, There was no reading in Canada I was in London Out of the hospital where I was For three days after my fall In my flat, hurting my ribs And hitting my eye on the trunk Where my Archive is. Vomiting, calling the NHS, Ambulance at 2 A.M. Blockage in bowel reactivated (After surgery years ago in Brooklyn For incarcerated hernia) "Abdominal adhesions" How make it "real" Write the dream As my great friend from Buffalo
