Sometimes, we forget
something we…
Sometimes, we forget
important things
to tell people.
We search into the nethers
of our large complex brains,
looking for the thing we forgot.
But, we have no clues.
No idea what it is we forgot.
We had it,
RIGHT THERE
in our mouths as,
word-vomit-ready words.
But, something went wrong.
A circuit exploded or,
maybe a UFO abducted that
one important thing
we HAD to say.
Or,
maybe it hitch-hiked on
a truck carrying
arbor down the road,
running away because,
we were not worthy of it.
Sometimes we forget
something we…
It bothers us.
We HAVE TO remember.
But the little mischief,
little devil—let’s be honest—
stays hidden.
