Now that the leg has been cut off
it's gone
but it continues to ache
to tingle
to smell
whenever the lizzard's tail has been cut off
a new one grows
maybe the old one is a queue for cooking oil
and the new one is a queue in front of some embassy
mistakes occur sometimes
memories always grow out of shape
rhymes: dekamos/cause/romantic/tic
