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.
