mind and I pay none of it any attention... this
slide show of memories does not catch my
attention and while these might be interesting
glimpses they provide no immediate desire for
further investigation... but when a memory of
my own design flashes across my mental screen,
it gets the attention it deserves... perhaps more
if the details are a little sketchy and the vision
does nothing to clarify... these moments stay
with me for the rest of the day and then some
as my sleep is interrupted by these teases that
cannot quite catch on... a nuisance they are
hanging around as they do... annoying the
mind as it tries to remember but cannot... a
devil of a demon with which to contend but
a necessary one when it happens, trying to
find the conclusion to the riddle they pose...
but when the mystery is solved and the issue
vanishes, it is not too long before another one
appears just as elusive, leaving one to wonder if
this is just the plight of one who is getting old.
