Kit Kelen #933 - time immemorial or to be observant

933

time immemorial

or

to be observant

makes a kind of landscape

full of promises broken and kept

I forget there's so much to remember

a flag and you can sing it too

it's like the wishlist you call Santa

or you call God to you

I always remember I have to forget

this pisses off the deity

but what is there to do?

salute

so much I have to forget

I have to remember

it's what I do

the shopping

for instance the milk and the honey

join all these dots

and you'll have a border

wadi

where the water falls

stare hard

the wall goes up

turns us into

a souvenir

then under the dust

and trash and gone

sombre music

wipe a tear

promised

I promise to remember

healing

like the wound over time

I forget

so much

in order to remember

that I have to forget

sometimes

I forget

to forget

this always leads to trouble

then I remember sometimes

it never lasts for long

but I was chosen for the task

a stretch from sleep

but the dream forgets me

God's angry

I can't remember why

wake up to myself then

I remember to remember

to forget

have to forget

what's in front of my nose now

forget myself as well

but all of this just so as to remember

on a clear day

carry me over the river

then you will see who we are /// then you will know who I am

coda

I am the happy Australian

(that's south made something, someone

from what happened to be here)

trust me I'm very good at

forgetting who was here before

forgetting where I'm from
