it’s true what they say
that flash before your
very eyes
I see it happening
all the time
[I see it happening
all the time]
it’s true what they say
about the mind
a recorder of everything
playbacks & recalls
sometimes spot on
often faulty
nonetheless all of it
the truth & the way
how a simple gesture
takes you back
before the very beginning
before time itself
may two thousand twenty-two
