                                              The Imaginary i



         Sewer Hole


A happy anamnesis
laughing
my brothers climbed
down the sewer hole

to retrieve a ball.
Two children looked
relieved, bemused
by the uncles’ hats

floating—
beret, pork pie, watch cap—
above the hatless
sewer hole.
