Adjunct stutterer, I am, I gave away the faculty you gave up 
and I don’t recall forgetting it. Within my 
brain we’ve never misapplied figures, images, anecdotes 
about the medium requesting looted prestige;
              till each to razed oblivion yield.. 
but because I never forget my leftist French brain I’m above lasting memory!  
Always stoked —  
full of light, yess.. there rose  
from poor retention tallies by nature, the pressure  
on the tongue, the tip.
