ON MY WAY TO THEBES

On my way to Thebes
I was driven to an oracle
who guaranteed a total recall
of all the things of which
I had long lost control.

The seer sort reminded me
Of a good chunk of the life
I had had before being tossed
all about, then told I would go blind,
whom I should marry.

I said, don’t waste your time, my old
man, I am no goat,
just like everything else
you are just another voice
talking inside my head.
