Still catching up (with work, this time) and still finding inspiration at Carrot Ranch.
Pieces
memory is not exact
but combined
with time
rather than being
recent brain activity
it is possible
even if it is not true
remembering creates fiction
a part told truthfully
our life story

through our actions, our parents, our name
labelled, repeated, assumed
selective stories keep
who we are over time
