Lapse

I know (what do you know?) I remember
I see (what do you see?) I remember
I feel (what do you feel?) I remember

All of those days
Stretched out in line
Vertebrae spools of my spine

I cry (why do you cry?) I remember
I smile (why do you smile? I remember

All of those moods
Entangled and twined
What was once skin becomes rind

I speak (why do you speak?) I remember
I scream (why do you scream?) I remember

All of those lies
Compounding through time
Cortical clues to my crime

I fall (how do you fall?) I remember
I fly (how do you fly?) I remember

All of those skies
I'll never find
Circuits short out in my mind
