Forgetfulness by Billy Collins



I think it happens to all of us, forgetfulness that is. Just yesterday during conversation #three million two that my best friend and I were discussing that names seem to go first. If we live a full life then it will probably happen to all of us. I know there is nothing to be done for it, but I worry anyway. I have memories neatly squirreled away that I don't wish to lose, why? I seem to have forgotten.
