Digging through your own past
Wondering why the person you were is a stranger now.
Mementos,
Physical cues to memories you cannot match,
Like a computer error:
“This shortcut no longer leads to a file.
Locate file manually, or delete shortcut?”
That is the question.
And who has the time for option A,
Or the courage for option B?
We are all doomed to live in our own holding patterns,
Waiting for something to spark joy.
