Can you recall your early years?
I cannot
Or remember the days before you first talked?
I cannot
Or when you took your first step?
I cannot
Or how you first tried solid food?
I cannot
Some people claim they remember those things
I cannot
I would like to recall those and much more
I cannot
Not because of any impediment or disability
I just cannot
I wish I could
But I cannot
No unhappiness, no happiness, nothing there
I just cannot
Yet I do not longer for it, just want to know
But I cannot
I shall not dwell on it because
I should not
Life is good and happy and what's wrong with that?
I shall not repeat that I cannot
I just cannot
or it might consume me
But it cannot
