Sideways on Saturday
being
handcuffed to it and what
you say is what I dream.

Someone whispered in my ear
yesterday somewhere last year
sometimes I fear those
whispered words
but
the batteries in the hearing aid
are weak and somehow words just fade,

I am fading inexorably into the realms
of ancient history
I wonder who'll remember me and
will I even know myself?
