Forgive me, for I have not the mind to know all, nor the mind to remember anything.
Amusing how one can listen but not comprehend
comprehend without listening
important details fade out
nonsense, untruths, and garbage cement themselves permanently
what you wore years ago is seemingly obvious
your birthday and our anniversary never stick
unwavering dedication to listen to the stories
constant strain to recall the subject
the tip of a shoelace is known as an aglet
how old are you?
how old am I?
what is your name?
commonsense is a fabrication, a reality I may never reach
