Amnesia
Amnesia
can offer 50 First Dates
or just one question 50 times over
How’d I get here?
Amnesia can strike early, after a workout,
but Before I Go To Sleep, I must know
How’d I get here?
Amnesia can ambush Monday after Easter,
everyone asking Remember Sunday? No,
How’d I get here?
Anterograde amnesia leads to scans, MRI’s, questions
Regarding Henry, the year, the president?
How’d I get here?
Amnesia is interesting
in movies, but I don’t know how I got here:
ambulance, unruptured cerebral aneurysm, coiled, stented.
Today I live.
Memento Moir,
remember you will die.

This is such an accomplished and moving poem. I love the repetition and use of the movie titles. Thank you for sharing it with us!
