I Don't Even Know
I don't know who I am any more,
Not the bed I lie in,
Not the clothes on my back.
I don't know who calls me for breakfast,
Not why the mother shouts for her son to put on his socks,
Not why the boy, maybe aged seven poses in a full-length mirror.
I don't know how I got to this building, when a second ago I was in that bed,
Not how I wear this uniform so commonly,
Not how a shoulder bag hangs, full of books I couldn't pronounce.
I don't know, even, who I am anymore,
or how I changed,
or how you could leave me.
But I know I don't want to know you ant longer,
because the memory pulls a trigger to my brain.
