First Marilyn Monroe memory
involves being in back seat of car
driven by youthful friend's father, who
tells joke that hinges on proposition
that even if Marilyn Monroe

were bald, etc. We are on Congress Street
driving west around Wabash, I think,
since we are passing Minsky's Burlesque.
The entire past, viewed in black and white,
inspires sensation of having dirt

under collar, sleazy dim subtext.
secret embarrassment, not knowing,
never ceasing to wonder about
and being continually surprised
how anything in nature functions.
