Someday

I will have a memory that does the trick
and holds all I can imagine or survey
so everything I can recall stays fresh

It will be recorded in a book
and someday a kid will read it
as part of some goofy assignment
say this sucks and leave his desk behind

but one day he will recall it and wonder
who wrote it

He will shrug it off
It will stick in his head somewhere
Remember it on his deathbed
Die still not knowing my name

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Onward,
T
