    You and I Strolling Last Sunday
    Impassioned we wait
    Watching the weather on television
    Standing in for ourselves at rehearsals
    Pledging allegiance to property place

    This in defense of memories
    Someone has to stand for them
    After all,
    It wouldn't and could not be you
    Who forgets the truth revealed
    At every turn of pages
    Pages blankly facing me
    A broken stylus beckons nothingness
    Etched in abject permanence
    Yours truly, like myself

    Understand this is just comment
    But no illusion severs us
    Fluid in the ruins of our obvious fate
    All that it takes is all that it takes.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
