big band music,<\/p>\n
the failing of an empire or falling off the earth.<\/p>\n
A voice speaking of a tropical veranda<\/p>\n
where tigers paced beneath louvered windows.<\/p>\n
The not mine voice told<\/p>\n
of the pom, pom, pom sound a pug, a trail along the porch.<\/p>\n
Heavy breathed feline greatness panting in the humid jungle night…<\/p>\n
-Sumatra?-<\/p>\n
I, awake fully now in the humid corn steam wet of Iowa night and wonder,<\/p>\n
where this memory palace is built,<\/p>\n
whose rooms these are.<\/p>\n
I walk the hall, wonder if it was something I read,<\/p>\n
or saw in a film<\/p>\n
or was it then another dimension, a time trip me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
