how do you remember

the moment you've started forgetting?

just woke up

and the rearview mirror's broke

crossed state lines but you don't even

know where you came from

you've popped out of nowhere dear

all you are is now, blinking in and out

with your eye floaters the fishes of a dead sea

bloated and depressed like a memory foam headrest

and know

that this place, the wind here only blows

for your trail, not you

not for the sweat dragging their nails

'cross your nape

but for the hair that dies on checkered linoleum

and hanged nails cut down from half-moons
