Warning for the young
Your hippocampus is grey and small
and shaped like a seahorse (apparently)
an insignificant brain blob
but do not make the mistake of taking it for granted
while it’s ever so easy to stuff with song lyrics,
boyfriend biographies and
bins out on a Wednesday for Thursday collection
beware there will come a day when
all of a sudden
you can’t for the life of you
recall who that woman is,
entire sets of arrangements,
what you did yesterday
that word for that thing
you know, the big thing
all gone… for now
they’ll be back tomorrow … at around 3am
