Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
It’s come up twice now
Memory
The white wispy shape
Ephemeral
Moving away faster
Than I can grasp
And honestly
That’s okay
I don’t need to remember
Everything
Then all these faceless
Photos
Pamphlets
Shirts and ties
Opinions
Camaraderie
And worse
And I cursed memory
I didn’t want to remember,
Not really
But then I saw that smile
And felt just a little
Kinder.
