The psychopest
whom I have been seeing
for a bit
tells me
that I have a number
of false memories.
Indeed
if I recall correctly
what she adumbrated
I don’t have many
of any other kind.

This is good news.
Listen
the chances are
I didn’t set off the fire extinguisher
at the Mayor’s reception
or steal the lead off the church roof
or shoot the duchess
or sell the postman’s children
into slavery
or start World War Three.

I can’t tell you
what a relief it is.
