Memories Ingrained Poem by Joe Oppenheimer

Memories Ingrained

Rating: 4.0


Ingrained memories of kids
drawing, writing, doodling -
pushing dull pencils, sticks -
on the old pine topped
kitchen table.

Left marks - as
from too hot
pots, and cuts
from too dull
choppers.

Bringing yesterday
into today.

Until after 30 years
refinishing leaves them
in sawdust
vacuumed -

Amounting to nothing
but newly
glossy surfaces.
