The most dangerous part of forgetting,
is remembering
what was forgot,
as it never happened,
fabricated just for you;
it’s a story,
now,
true as truth ever has been true,
a truth, ecstatic,
akin to
a story told to kin who,
tucked-in tight, will half-listen and half-fall asleep and half-dream to;
they will forget
what they never remembered;
eventually, so will you;
I will, too!
We remember red when we saw blue,
so many of our memories aren’t true;
we remember them as they weren’t,
aren’t,
and for what they didn’t do,
as long as it’s true to you.
Who are they, then?
Neither them, nor you;
a manifestation conjured to pin yourself to,
dismantling them,
destroying you;
Who are they?
On the list, they’re just above you.
That’s the truth that has never been true:
if it happened to them, it can’t happen to you.
That’s how we’re forgotten, remember;
if we forget who said what when about who.
I think I remember something like that.
I can’t remember who said it,
so it must be true.
