Pa Joad warned them -
If you take me
Off this land
It is an unsettling thing
To walk through the city
RECALL
It is strange
What the fog brings in
It is a strange thing
To live in the same town
History fades
When there is no one
It struck me today
How I hadn’t said
Your name
Memory is a beguiling phantom
Enchanting us backwards
When I was little
Everything was done for me
The dust slowly thickens
On the shelves
