I’m losing track of chronology.
When did important events happen in my life?
I don’t believe in astrology
but tend to hold whatever view of history
helps me combat my stress and strife.
It’s hard to keep track of chronology
without a calendar to see me by
(it's almost as if I actually did believe
in Tarot or astrology),
but perhaps I owe no one an apology
if I freely choose to forget my grief
by losing all track of chronology,
precise memory a casualty of my
anamnestic drywall knife—letting me live my life
bassackwardly by ladies' fancy.
Did something crucial happen in 2017?
Whatever it was, it’s buried too deep
now to ferret it out.
Chance knows no chronology.
