How stale are your memories?

...nothing a little "day old" coffee couldn't help, eh?

Good analogies and truth be told, cleverly expressed

Insignificant, We

There is no ardent cause,

no crack in the foundation,

no pulp in the orange juice.

All is as it seems; perfect and

onward into that thing called time.

Of course, the sun does what it does

without keeping track

of what day it is.

It may, however, have feelings

and even cry on occasion, but

we would never know.

How could we tell?

It may be the way a fern grows crooked

on a hill.

or the trunk of an Elm splitting and living

another forty years.

Maybe this is the sun

crying.

It probably saves its weeping

for icebergs

and campfires.

Everything I remember is significant. Half the stuff I have forgotten is significant.

Since I have almost zero eidetic imagery (meaning I can't picture things in my mind,) nothing goes stale, it just shifts out of focus like the contents of an old trunk on a stage coach ride through a maze of potholes.

The potholes are current events and the coach is my dodgey mind.

My mind seems to work in the opposite way

Not quite a focus, but re-sharpening game played

A repairing, if you will, of events that took place

The first thing I'll give me, a more handsome face

The next thing I remember would have to be

That when it took place, I was smarter than me

And this rhyme, for example, though now it seems wrong

Will be the best thing I've written... once it is gone

I read it four times and that must mean something cause normally I´m dismissive.you don´t let on much..And so much could be replaced.Which is not a good sign..In a good poem every word is Integral..It could be baked beans..would that make any difference to the first line..and if it does..what?Still,on the positive side it bounces along and I guess you had fun writing it..Don´t wish to knit pick..and add a second verse..about the first line..give us a clue..?

Over easy and well done at the same time.

My short term memory is about as long as a grain of rice, while my long term memory is pretty good, but selective.

Crusty Scramble at the Memory Cafe

Excuse me Ma'am, I'd like to change my order.

I'm sorry Sir, but you did order the Daily Special

Yes, but I assumed it was, you know, today's

Well, you'd better come back and order that, next week

Good Morning D

....I get it.

Getting older, aren't you? lol Create some new ones my advice but take notes as you are likely to forget those but not the old insignificant ones!

Something insignificant happened to me, once. It scarred me for life...

and that's a fact. Your pen scrambles a good one.

Frazier would like this one.
