Forgetfulness
FORGETFULNESS
older folks need circles
of golden rings
so we don’t get excited
for youthful things
my laundry would never
get hung up
if not for a glass of wine
in a buzzing cup
funny how the forest
obscures my mind
from my family tree
i grow deaf and blind
if not for the thundering clouds
and pounding rain
i’d forget my knickers
are paper-clipped to my brain
