Next Moment

Fumbling through a lost episode , 
That I thought I knew
I find that memory erodes
Shouldn't I feel a bit new?
I was trying to form a list
Of the things that are still important
Of the opportunities missed
Of the problems I left unsorted 
I intended this stuff to rank.. 
The next moment I distract 
Sometimes memory gets blank
It does seem an unconscious act.
