As a child,
I never wrote notes.
There weren’t even
post a notes
In the 40’s
I didn’t care about remembering
what time to leave for school.
My mother would tug
me out of bed,
“You’re late-you’re late.”
Did I lose anything as a child?
I don’t remember.
I don’t remember looking for my stuff.
But, when my mother lost her wallet,
I remember a lot of drama.
But I don’t remember her being concerned
about losing her mind
because she lost her wallet.
