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
