Long Forgotten How long is after I am forgotten? My songs are grounded in old man's gravel But I do not mine them into hymns That loft up from the basement to the floor Where my great-grandson will hear them and remember. Nor have I gathered grandchildren to demonstrate How once I shaved with a straight razor, Or told them how a mad cow blocked the road One day as my sister and I walked home from school. The memories of those before me, I still keep. For a while, I can yet speak of them. Still, when everyone speaks, The words must crowd themselves Into the chatter. Who has time to listen and remember? How long is After I am forgotten? |
