Imagining Only What I Remember

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination John Lennon IMAGINING ONLY WHAT I REMEMBER abrupt the falling cord’s tight and coiled serpent hiss reality reverberates into space imagination makes haste fetal position tethered to a voice uttering no relief potentiality death a bright room the cheerfulness of white walls and too white gown and death cheerfulness you say It keeps our feet from walking verified distance has its pride reality’s long standing in shadow’s neverland his form’s always there stretched ‘cross the bed i’m scared to approach her purse in suspended animation while they dance i long to go back and see him but my imagination won’t bring me there 1/13/2021 Sponsor: Emile Pinet Contest: Suzette Prime HMS verifies prime numbers

A fantastic write based on obvious gulps of truth and snippets of life.

Thank you so much! My uncle had a massive heart attack the morning after my cousin’s wedding. We relive such moments only where observations were made. God bless you!
