Funny, the stupid things I remember

Funny, the stupid things I remember.

I never remember the important stuff,

Like addresses or birthdays

Or parties or hangouts

Or last names.

But I remember my second grade teacher's dogs were Rachel and Quimby

I remember the first "wormy" toy I got was in third grade

I remember the exact orders

Me and my best friend in the whole world

Ordered at the ice cream place

And I remember the tree we talked under

And I can't go there anymore

Can't go anywhere

Can't talk to people

If I keep running

Who could catch me?

Funny, the stupid things I remember

But they're never the things that matter.

  • The thing is

    The thing is,

    I can't get over it.

    It sticks in my memory

    unforgettable

    and I want it

    but I know it was just

    subconscious dreamland.

    It was old

  • Future fantasy

    I dreamt

    it was next year

    everyone I loved was there

    tall chairs

    light work

    not reality

    everyone

    perfect

    I woke up and I felt his love

    butterfly wings against my cheek

  • Infinity

    My dread of math -

    infinite.

    Why must it be so complicated?

    Math reasoning may be the authority on your scoring sheets

    but it's not the boss of me.

    Because there is no math reasoning.
