It’s Not That I Can’t, I Don’t Need To – memory in modern times #poetry #poem #memory #moderntimes

[image error]Hearing is not listening,

Seeing’s not perceiving.

To watch is not to memorize

The data you’re receiving.

Why remember if you can

Google what you need?

A password’s all you must retain,

What’s needed to succeed.

[image error]Thanks to theatlantic.com for why I can’t remember anything. This has been happening to me ever since my first calendar watch made it impossible to recall the date. I feel so much better now – I think.
