And when she asked me
where was the card she sent
me when I was sick, I could
not remember. It was

Not the actual attic. I
live in an apartment
and do not have an attic.
I meant it was in the place
where dust collects on items
that are being saved
for posterity to be remembered
only when the topic comes
up again. We all have them.

Where is that recipe for bread
that grandmother taught me?
In the attic. Never was one
for writing things down.
Now, where did I put those
oldie but goodies lyrics?
