I was there I saw it and I heard it
Someone else says
No that's not what happened
I was there too
I saw it and I heard it
And besides you were in the kitchen, you don't know
And this was before you were born
All I know is no one was paying attention
for all the bravado of memory arguments
had at our dinner table
All of what was said was or is true
If I say it. It is true.
Between each other we remember
experiences events moments scenes
commonly shared with each other
differently from each other
Memory's Influence-er is time.
Adding new memories every day over time.
Years go by
Until there are so many years
Memory is out to lunch more often than it sits at the table
a reliable dinner companion to our whims
Remembering becomes an occasion for frustration and letting go
There are a few memories"frozen in time" which for me means ..
...whenever I remember that moment, I always remember it exactly the same
it has never evolved or edited itself or come to me in new colors
frame by frame same every time
It was long journey to gain an understanding of frozen in time.
