"Before Your Eyes"-"The Attic of Forgotten Things
From October,2015
It can happen anywhere, at anytime-
week,*
day
,
month
,
year
It isn't up to you
-
In the car,
listening to the radio-
Having dinner with friends,
or alone-
At a baseball game,
bottom of the ninth-
Score tied-two outs,
bases loaded
Youth re-visited
A certain sound, song, phrase,
overheard
-
the aroma of freshly baked bread
glimpse-movement-
indiscriminate
-
All unleashing a memory cell
Lying dormant
-
Long forgotten-
"What made me think of that?"
you ask yourself
For a door had opened.....
"before your eyes"
and you stepped
into
........
v
"The Attic of Forgotten Things."

Sometimes we forget...what our brain....has kept.
