| WARNING by Ricky Davis The act of remembering may lead to: • Embarrassment, especially in the details of certain evenings spent in over-sentimental silence of another’s arms or one’s imaginary own. (See also, nausea.) • Overturning bouts of self-criticism occurring in corners of dark restaurants, realizations of selfishness echoing in cries of “WANT! WANT! WANT!” • Excursions into unknown levels of guilt, trodden only by dark Russian minds hidden in basements. • Massive silt deposits on the banks of awareness causing delays and crowded benches in departure bay. • Resounding desire to stop oneself from considering The Mind Is Only A Partially Unopened Box, or Not Everything Escapes, or (most terrifyingly of all) the grime on our hands is too cumulative to rinse away 2-3 times daily. |
