Another Reminder

If you need to remember,

just remember,

but don't look back.

The fork in the road bent over -

it'll stab you in the tongue

if you put it in your mouth.

This is no way to feed yourself

unless you want to bleed.

Don't forget if you need to remember

don't look back.

You'll become a column of sodium

or blind from the light of a dying star.

The silver spoon lost its shine -

it'll never hold you over

if you shove it in your throat.

This is no way to consume

unless you want to throw up.

Remember,  here you are where you are

writing down words as if they were

worth remembering.

But what is done you already know

it's gone but you want to hold on

and thinking about what will be is scary,

an impossible mystery to solve

without living it out

so the gravity of change pulls you down

and makes you remember
