Attic

.

And when she asked me

where was the card she sent

me when I was sick, I could

not remember. It was

in the attic.

Not the actual attic. I

live in an apartment

and do not have an attic.

I meant it was in the place

where dust collects on items

that are being saved

for posterity to be remembered

only when the topic comes

up again. We all have them.

.

Where is that recipe for bread

that grandmother taught me?

In the attic. Never was one

for writing things down.

Now, where did I put those

oldie but goodies lyrics?
