Society I watched as
he scurried away
and returned
seconds later
claiming he’d
forgotten where
he was going.
He went looking
for his memory
before he even
knew he lost it.
Each moment
he once held onto
dearly was stolen
by the greedy
grips of Age.
Mind emptied-
a vast abyss
that had carried
thoughts full
of happiness
and hope.
Grains of
remembrance
were washed
away by the
currents of Time.
He suddenly
stood up again
preparing for
another trip down
Forgetfulness Lane.
I sat clinging
tightly to a clock
listening as the
seconds ticked away
praying life
had different
plans for me.
