Meaning

Disappearing Act

By March 6, 2021 No Comments

Maybe it’s the product of too many ideas floating in my head?

I find that I sometimes lose thoughts; I have them within my grasp and they poof—disappear.

 

Maybe it’s a sign of aging?

I never did have a great memory, but now names escape me even sooner.

 

Maybe it’s an attention thing?

I’ve read articles about this problem of recall. I mean, they eventually find their way back, but the speed in which it vanishes is stunning and more than slightly off-putting.

 

Maybe it’s normal?

I don’t like it one bit.

But I don’t recall being given the choice.
