THE MEMORY CLINIC

I don’t know why anything can exist

There must be cause if this is the measure

Every day is worse than the last

red pills for worrying about the blanks

*

I think nothing should exist

In this life we couldn’t have done more

Every day is the same as the last

yellow pills for adding to the blanks

*

I don’t remember why we exist

Not for humanity’s sake that’s for sure

Every day is better than the last

green pills for filling in the blanks

*

I want to forget you exist

Thinking of you always opens the door

Every day feels like the last

blue pills for accepting the blanks
