memory

 

 

MEMORY 

“. . . memory is less like a movie, a permanent emulsion of chemicals on celluloid, and more like a play—subtly different each time it’s performed. In my brain, a network of cells is constantly being reconsolidated, rewritten, remade.”  The Forgetting Pill, by Jonah Lehrer at Wired

 

that trickster 
fickle * elusive 
sometimes appears 
on cue * sometimes 
not * he forgets 
his lines * he ad-libs 
he ignores 
the script * the plot 
the point * the dramatic 
arc * he saws me in 
half * reassembled 
i am out of order 
that rabbit * that dove 
are not what 
they seem * those 
mobius scarves * ever- 
changing colors * pulled 
from his magic hat 
sleight-of-mind * illusion 
deluded * i reappear * 
disassembled * confused 
hypnotized * i am that 
rabbit * that dove * un-
knowing i am not 
what i seem
