The words to a song I used to know but can’t quite seem to remember
My lips closing around an empty fork when I expected a bite of spaghetti
The fleeting relief of a summer breeze that stops before it starts
Knowing exactly what paragraph I should have read while staring blankly at a test question
Being sure I recognize a person I see but not remembering how I know them
The feeling of knowing right where I am but being lost all the same
Losing an argument and not admitting it to myself
Happiness is like all these things but it’s hard to say what it really is for sure
This is just a little ditty that came to me as I was driving home tonight.
