Let's Start Again Tomorrow Poem by Damien Carroll

Keep notes, he said. Keep notes. Easy for him to
Say.
Each time I check, the words are all over
The place.
God is this what it's like to decay!

Wow! My head is clear again. How did that happen!

When I reflect on the hollow memories
Of yesteryear
With those unfinished days with missing hours
Where did they go, it's not so clear.

I checked my notes, yes the hours are listed but
I don't remember,
I can't recall some weeks
and days

But then suddenly
I can see everything,
With vibrant bright colours,
everything's clear, no longer a
haze.

I'm beginning to worry that perhaps it
really is true
The doctors were saying
That my little fall has affected my brain
I know, I'll just keep my focus
On the days that just passed,
Yes, that should work,
focus focus focus.

Now, what was I just thinking then, something about food or
TV, no couldn't be,
damn it where's my
notes,
I need my notes,
Jesus I can't remember my name.
My notes. What the hell. All my words look the same.

I need to lie down, I need to rest. Yea that's it. I'll have a
Snooze and
build up my strength.
When I wake up later, I'll be totally refreshed
And then I''ll discover where all my hours went.


Yes,
I'll start
again
tomorrow...
