lymph node

the red in my spec

a fall at the rec

a crack on me head

they all come and go except

this ball in my neck

yes, down to the side

it remains

i feel it with my finger, like a ping pong inside a sock of skin

i don't know what it is, scientifically

and I've never paid mind to look up its specificity

but such a loyal kink it is

only makes itself known fluctuatingly,

each time sparking my memories with it through similar passing

as it calls attention thereto

saying "I'm here!"

remember?

yes, yes

i think i should double-check

the memories in me head
