You said I have a good memory
and I retaliated with
"Remember when I could remember things?"
I swear you had to have
thought that before,
but I'm not sure.

There's nothin' more to see around here
says the guy who's seen it all
and you and I both know he's wrong
but who am I to ruin his fun
or our secret surprises?

You said I couldn't go on like this
so I went another way.
I know you're hiding something from me
but it isn't satisfaction.

The locals know all the routines,
both theirs and ours.
The least they could do for us
would be to say so quietly
but their thoughts are on their faces
and maybe it's time to move
or at least hide the kids.
I'm worried we might be one of them.

In perplexity,
we make lists
in order to not admit to ourselves
that we're slaves to our
failing memories,
wishing to not escape convenience.
And forgetting the list
illustrates the primary principle:
we can't be what
we can't conceive,
and it mustn't have been
important if we didn't
bother writing it down.
Essentially, passing the blame
on to something
profoundly and confoundingly
pointedly pointless.

The hipsters gathered around
the artisanal cell phone kiosk,
arguing about and trying
to debunk the myths concerning
the search for God's new soul.
This would prove to be
the final divisive discussion
ending with "I think we all
can agree to disagree"
before the realization
that the 21st century
rendered nails obsolete
struck them, and faith returned
to its "Sundays Only" designation.
