I make it a joke
I call it my colander brain
The colander you use to drain pasta
With little holes
Some have bigger holes

That’s my brain
The holes of memory are getting bigger

I remember lyrics and stories to my 40’s
Ask me what I did last Tuesday
I have no idea
I take Xanax by doctors order
I’m wound tight like a spring
That reduces memory
It’s been 10 yrs of Xanax

I was known as The Hawk
I missed nothing in the workplace

I can still rise to the occasion
But law of physics
A body at rest tends to stay at rest
A body in motion tends to stay in motion
I need motion
Amen
