twenty-seven: forgotten things.

forgotten things:
a movie ticket
a graduation card
a pair of shorts
a magazine
an instrument
a passion.

a movie ticket
i never can remember...
did we see that movie
the two of us, together?

a graduation card
recently discovered
in a book of poetry
i never did thank you formally...

a pair of shorts
that were soaked
from an impulse dip
in a refreshing swimming pool
they were left there
along with other things
i will fail to remember to mention.

a magazine
that i purchased
on an impulse
a whim
i found a tattoo inside
that i wouldn't mind on my body
if i was into that sort of thing
but i haven't read all of it
i just found it again today
where does my time go?

an instrument
that has been cased
for far too long
and sitting in the corner
with its friend, alone.
it'll return
you wait and see
my fingers are beginning to become
a little twitchy.

a passion
that i forgot i had...?
can you really forget a passion?
how, exactly, does that happen?
it doesn't
so now that i've remembered:
i have a new passion.
i'll try to remember this one
this time
but i wont make

a promise.
