SHORT BYTE (1987)
I didn’t have the normal sensory experiences
As a child
So I developed
A whole series
Of compensating devices
Memorial Day
Megan came over
For Cliff’s birthday
He wasn’t there
So we did the Runes
It wasn’t our best day
Megan wasn’t feeling that well
I was afraid
Mark would think Megan and I were
A little loud
‘Cause we were talking
And getting animated
I thought
he said something
From his room
So that made the air
inadvertently
Murky
I got that scary feeling
In my chest
That I get
When things could get
Out of hand
You never know
After Megan left
Mark assured me we were okay
There was no problem
I was glad to hear it
But I was sorry
Our Runes were
A little
Nervewracked
Which made me
unnaturally cheerful
for a while
Also, Cliff was going to come later
So we could celebrate his birthday
He was at Scandia with his girlfriend
In Rohnert Park
And having a great time
But then he texted
His stomach was upset
So he wouldn’t be coming
After all
Mark said that’s okay
We’ll just save everything
Until you get here
