I remember that
the Dixie Cups
sang "Chapel of Love"
in 1964
on the Red Bird label.

I never planned to.

But I really wanted to remember that great passage by…

I never could.

Mnemosyne,
ruler of memory,
loves to play games.

She likes to dress up my storage cells
in white
and stand them in the world
to attract bits
like mud flung at random.
