Not Our Memories Totally Relived


old memories return when others

fill in the missing gaps,

photos trigger very little,

conversations with elders reveal

the full extent of the recollection,

rambling on like it was yesterday,

vivid images collect internally

processing our thoughts,

releasing the information 

bits and pieces of data

left unwoven inside silos

without a librarian to classify,

categorize and label...

retrieving little with pondering,

writing it down on paper as if

that exercise will ultimately

reveal what is not captured in

our casted mental fishing nets.

perfect memory is never perfect

as it isolated and re-engineers

to suit the scenario and the

limitations of the story we tell

without the slightest hesitation.
