Pettiness (Dew Drop 8)

Pettiness

I am sabotaged by memory.
An internal tantrum
is about to descend
to cut big in shark bites.
To reciprocate the betrayal,
I breathe in, breathe out,
in deep, long mantra-puffs,
and my recall returns like
the ivory inlay on a box
after a good scrub.
What if I find
what I tried to remember
is of no consequence!
