The more I learn the less I know.
I’m sure it wasn’t always so.
There was a time I do believe,
my memory was not like a sieve.
I could remember easily
all that I entered casually.
Today I struggle to recall.
Oh almost anything at all
I have a good forgettery
perhaps it is protecting me
From things I do not want to know.
Bad memories I have let go.
I can remember easily
when memories don’t hide from me.
