As our memory deteriorates, we need to rely on family and friends more and more.

————

Will you shovel cornflakes

into the gaps

between my thoughts?

Will you tow my leaky brain

to a safe harbor?

Will you proclaim the names

of people I’ve known

all my life

at parties where I don’t

know a soul?

Will you be my inner tube

I can cling to

in white water

‘til a waterfall

propels me

into rainbows?
