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 a 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
(Why do you fall?)
I remember
I fly
(Why do you fly?)
I remember

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

I know
(What do you know?)
I remember
