Baggage
I haven't written my memoirs,
except for a poem here and there,
because the contents of a memoir
have to be recorded on something.
Whether it's paper, video, or
audio tape. Even if it's digital,
it's got to be stored, recorded
somewhere. That somewhere,
the destination of memories,
weighs something. Ounces or
pounds that I have to carry
around with me. Then I realize
I've been carrying it around
my entire life.
