Recover

all the words that I can't think of
and the ideas that I have forgotten about
and equations of physics and calculating
lattitude and how to get back
when lost in the forest

these things that come in and out
like books and pictures and conversations
over the phone where do they go
and how do I get them back
where I need them and could use them

now when I see something that reminds me
of something else and what was that called
back when I was young and on the playground
running and running and running what did I learn
from that time that could be useful now

it's gone and can't come back
and I have to learn it again
and again and again and again
until it isn't important
and there's no use to it at all
