By Ann Michener Winter
why did I come into this room
better backtrack my steps
talking to friends now what is her name
better start with A
my head is in the fridge
no sunglasses in here
is today my dental appointment
oh no was that yesterday
help I forgot to put out the trash
or is that tomorrow
that word is on the tip of my tongue
but tucked away in my brain
bring in the dog and let out the cat
did I or didn’t I
will I remember tomorrow what I forgot today
or remember today and forget tomorrow
I can’t remember
