Forgetting by Joan SerratelliI forget
just about
everything
Important,
trivial,
inconsequential
I forget
just about
everything
I forget
to make calls
I forget
to eat
I forget
what I've worn
yesterday
I always
think
that if
I write
things down
I'll remember
to do
the things
that I must
But I even forget
to write
notes
to myself
When I lay fown
for the night
I find myself
going over
the things
I forgot
A vicious cycle
I know
but I forget
what to do! 03/27/2009 Author's Note: I don\'t know whether i\'s \"middle age\", or the meds I\'m on, but it\'s getting to be a real problem (I THINK)
