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.
