Brain Drain

My brain is perplexed

tied up in knots

pondering the question

without an answer.

Will I remember

five years from now

what I did yesterday?

or the day before that?

or three or four days ago

I barely remember today

can’t forecast tomorrow

how will I remember

what happened

five years ago?

This question has no answer

And the answer has no question

I’ll live life for today

enjoy every drop

throw yesterday in a sack

open the bag tomorrow

or just throw it in the trash

where yesterday’s sorrows belong

tomorrow will take care of itself.
