Card Catalog

Dec 05, 2008 19:05


the files are stacked high
now, i question the system
perhaps we should do away with these rusted metal cabinets
everything is digital now
why can't i remember anything? keep searching, you'll find it.
nothing is organized!
folders and papers, crumpled up notes, wrappers, tags,
notebooks, journals, velvet lined diaries,
post it notes, drawings, symbols, made up languages
have you no system of organization?
do you not place things in alphabetical order?
where are the dates, times--i need you to label each of these tabs!
a memory like this, it's no wonder you turned out to be this crazy mess.
and yet here you have some sheets...
"happy", "good", "great", "july", "before", "birthday"
only the good? where are all the bad memories?
what you think you're God?
you don't get to choose. YOU DON'T GET TO PICK WHICH ONES.
what about this file? 1/2/03? what is this?
no, you can't look at that!

you see, this isn't real anymore. you have no documentation of real events,
your life is as good as fiction. that's not true.
i remember all the good things that happened
so who cares? that's all that really matters.
no.
see, i have a great memory. i remember everything. good and bad.
but you...what, your brain just shuts down? that's sick.
that's really weird.
