The Past
“Ain’t that the curse of the second hand” (Mark Heard)
My mirror today was time,
with her unexplained folding
each time I recollect
the reason Grandma lives in Oklahoma,
I eat cheerios without milk,
and where the purple-knit scarf came from
“Mad World” looped as I remembered,
credence bestowed,
not to the absurdity of answers, but
Of Time’s erasal
Of them all.

from "Letters to Malcolm" by C.S. Lewis
"If the imagination were obedient, the appetites would give us very little trouble."
