Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Who's In Control Up There

Today, a screech from a hawk reminded me 
Of being in a car wreck years ago, like
The synapse door to my remembrance room opened
And the memory came down the conveyor belt
Into the window of my mind to arrive unannounced
Who’s in control up there?  Some little sprite?
Why can’t it work as smooth when I lose my keys?
The memory room operator could use some training
