A decade in a look back 12/16/14

Lop off another decade and look back.

Ah yes the …..’s.

OMG, I need high points for tent poles

to reconstruct it as a story.

I could tell it to myself in sharing with others.

There must be a mainframe theme for me

but I just can’t see it in the moment.

Okay let me go for dates, . . . no.

Scan from events that come to mind.

Okay moves, we are somewhere,

here to there in a review.

Look, get a grip on some memories

and then build around it.

This calendar is like a forgotten wallpaper.

I know the pattern

but placing the stains of usage

for when what happened to what and who.

Time is really slippery this way.

Some people have it memorized

like Sharpie marked door frames

with heights and dates,

but I sure don’t.

Alright, go with the people thing,

familiar faces with names,

then events, remembering when we did what!

then feelings, oh yes, that was amazing!

that impacted on me,

and then pack all of that

back into a time frame, like a decade.

Wow! That’s it? That’s what I remember?

And there goes another decade of my life . . . !
