Missing short term memory,
Isn't it great!
Something was bothering me.
But now I can't relate.
I would rather lose some memories of the past
Unfortunately, those are the memories that last.
A constricting thought enters my head
At night just before I get to bed.
I try to sleep but my ideas start to creep.
Try as I might, my brain won't turn off the light.
I know what to do.
I think of something new.
To make the nasty thoughts disappear.
To prevent them from coming back,
I put my hand over my ear.
