Aging Memory

It is hard for me to imagine
on either side of memory loss when I gets older
There is Notebook
where the forever beloved losing memory
and the old man chose to die together
after a splendid anniversary dinner
There is First Dates
where videotaping is needed everyday
to remind the wife who she is
Maybe reading some poems of yours or mine
could still light up a couple of minutes of memory
love and the life after all
Maybe I am still writing to you
non-coherently
and you would manage to translate into inspiration
to keep me going
Or the lawyer might have follow my living will
send me to see God earlier
once I don't recognize myself
Guess what God will tell me
I don't know myself either
only those people do
