fainting memories

why do memories
those reminiscent images
of fleeting joy and disappointment
pain and sublimity
why do they dissolve and resolve at will?
of their merry own no less!
round and abound our vision
then friskly out our lives a'taint
as just so many sudden winks that jar

is it that they faint?
collapse for lack of an audience
swoon and strewn aground
bounced from one receptor
to another
only lacking a mortal to inherit
and bask by fires bygone?

or could it just be a feint?
our mind's caprice
that answer to...
a long awaited clue...
....or not
don't you see?

mind to self ~ ~

~ oh, did i forget to tell?
i've replaced that episode with a rumored juncture
silly me
you know you must be more specific
if you expect me to pinpoint and retrieve
one iota in this morass of hocus pocus
this knacky sleight of hand and foot
forever infused and curdled
dump....

cuckoo you ~ ~
