Random Memories



Is it like a lightning?


Do your memories really flash


like an unmixed video of your life


when you die?


Or, do you remember little seemingly insignificant things jumbled


up like jigsaw puzzle’s piece thrown about


– with the one key piece missing?


Will you remember the smell left


on your shirt tossed in the corner of your closet on that morning?


Or, recall your naked feet running over damp cold grass


after a cloud dumped rain


that one distant hot summer day?

Or will you be reminded of the mundane sounds of


the phone ringing off the hook?


The toilet running?


A door slamming?


A heater blowing?

A tree branch hitting the side of the house

on a windy day?
