Imagine All Your Memories
Imagine all your memories
little birds
like
away
flying
once you awake
each day
disappearing
have flown to
where all your memories
You wonder
You recall a movie with the title Fifty First Dates
because you saw that movie
before your accident
Now you are the star of a smilar movie, which is your life -
waking up to sticky notes
reminding you of what you need
to do each day!
Hope is on. . . . . . the horizon!
Sleep deprivation is the key to keeping memories intact.
And so you start the therapy -
interrupting sleep at every hour
Then interrupting it at 2-hour intervals
and ultimately building up to sleeping
for four hours of continuous beautiful sleep
but always having to cut it off right there.
Memory retention is acheived with this therapy
for the rare condition named
psychogenic amnesia.

This is based on a patient X I read about online who was able to be cured through the therapy mentioned in this poem!
