i'm sorry
i keep forgetting
it's on the tip of my tongue
my feet are heading
straight for the destination
in their grownup shoes
snap! my mind goes blank.
i take a left
or maybe a right
or turn 180 degrees
and when i remember
(my mind filled with daisies,
or beans simmering on the stove)
if i remember
(the class, the reunion, your birthday)
is so long long past
