I feel like I've lost
a piece of myself
with every memory
drifted off who knows
where, now. Gone
when I wasn't looking,
don't even know now
what goes in the spaces.
Gaps left, nothing
but nothing
between
to connect.
I wonder what if it allcame back at once, how
much difference would it
really make?
Oh, I don't mean
serious impairment yet.
Just everyday glitch,
troubling in all the minor
ways I forget since I was
a boy. I know
I'm too
young
for worse than this,
but maybe I'm not?
Just missing a few years'
worth of interstitial
material per decade,
probably
taking pieces of me
with it. The important
stuff stays fixed in place
by regular reference
and stiff dependence, but
I wonder sometimes
what's going missing,
dissolving into background
while I'm paying attention
to more important things
