Yesterday

Yesterday is just a blur But in a moment of reverie There are bits I can recall Floating round my memory Modern life is overwhelming Everything is moving fast Rushing at such rapid pace That my brain is left aghast Past and present mix together Time is all askew With so much information What is one supposed to do? I've given up on keeping up I've well and truly hit the wall To preserve what sanity I've left I've decided to ignore it all You say that I am being fey Disconnected from reality But I'm far happier in my fog Than trying to keep up currently 5 May 2023 Writing challenge 'Words with 'Y' poetry contest Sponsored by Constance La France
