Starting all the action
A chemical reaction
Packaging is thrown away
Cordless source of power
Can use in the shower
Batteries are here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lithium has found me
Cannot stop a battery
Duracell aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill a battery
Cannot kill the family
Batteries are used by me
Battery
Battery
Crushing all devices
Shavers and food slicers
Never ending potency
Energizer seeker
Power to the weaker
Breeding alkalinity
Smashing through the boundaries
Lithium has found me
Cannot stop a battery
Duracell aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill a battery
Cannot kill the family
Batteries are used by me
Battery
Battery
Triple A destruction
Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Draining in a hurry
Dominating flurry
We create the batteries
Smashing through the boundaries
Lithium has found me
Cannot stop a battery
Duracell aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill a battery
Cannot kill the family
Batteries are used by me
Battery
Battery
Battery
Battery

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.
