Others often remind me

of things—

things I’ve done,

places I’ve gone,

words

I’ve spoken

—anecdotes to them,

news to me.

Speaking of news, I read it this morning:

“Blueberries Aid In Memory.”

I blended my smoothie

until it was dark,

a hue

of blue.

Memories came with ease;

memories

can make you

blue.

Since we last spoke

I’ve forgotten

and made

new memories.

Lest I forget them once more

I’ve got a bag of fruit in the freezer.

I encourage you to take a break from who you think you are.
