I cannot picture my old classroom.
The order of the American Beatles’ albums
are lost to me.
I don’t have any sense
what car to stand on to get out at 14th Street
let alone which door.
I am losing things
things that used to drive me
constantly.

I am getting old
and forgetful
and driving out data points
that I once effortlessly maintained.
All the appearances of Julie Landers
on ABC sitcoms
are erased from my hard drive.
Is it because I stopped accessing this information?
Is it because more important things have replaced them?
Have I reprioritized my memorization systems
or am I now senile?

There was an old show
I saw
or a movie or song
that addressed this situation perfectly.
What was it again…?
