It took me a while to partially forget you.
Forty two days and twenty three hours.
That twenty-third hour wasn't what I expected,
It didn't end how I planned.
The doctor said I would have
Issues.
Tiny black holes in my brain.
But I did my homework.
Don't take them all at once, it said.
Five minute increments within a single hour,
Ten pills each time the little, off-white egg timer dings.
"You'll lose more as time goes on."
Tiny black holes in my brain,
Munch, munch, munch.
I watch movies I can't stand.
I eat strawberry yogurt, which makes me gag.
Hate is the second strongest emotional memory,
Love is the first, so I’m not sure where you stood.
Gray area in the gray matter.
If it's all you have left,
Hold on tight.
AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI really love this.
Not entirely sure I understand what's goin' on, though... unless it's an Eternal Sunshine of the Mind kind of a deal.... Then I do get it.
Anyway, it's GOOD. And, once again, I am envious of your talent for making very small stories speak volumes.....
