What just happened?
I wrote a poem
In my head
But I didn’t
Write it out
And now I see…
It’s circling
The drain
It happens
Again & again…
Wouldn’t you
Think I’d learn?
But I’ve learned
It isn’t always
Possible
You see…
When I said it
I meant it…
Standing in
The shower…
It’s truly going
Down the drain
Gone…forgotten
How do you
Retain the
Ephemeral?
Substance
Doesn’t cling
To neurons
All that remains
Memory that
It once was
And is no more
