Digesting the Past

Listen to poem:
Digesting the Past David J Walker Or We can forget about it And start over Telling everyone we have Taken new names Or Change the number On our iPhones prone To robocalls Or Take an alias on Twitter Delete each other on tender Another catfish on Snapchat Or move to the mountains through back trails that no one knows but everyone goes there subconsciously Or We can think about it Forever Slowly simmer on one bad Summer day that Lead to a year of poor decision making The past is past You say though still unable to Digest the mistakes that To this day still Block your airway
