You.
I didn’t want to know
your name.
But when you asked for help,
I helped.
And all it took was
Just
One
Click.
There it was.
Right. There.
I told myself
“I won’t search it.”
But I did.
And all it took was
Just
One
Click.
Click.
Click.
I can’t unsee that.
I don’t want to know.
So, I took out a forgetting pill.
The ones that
Nasty people use
To do nasty things
But I use it
For good.
To forget.
And I swallowed it.
Just
One
Little
Pill
I won’t even remember
That I swallowed
It
Click

I really like this one. I’ve been toying with the idea of 100 word stories in this poetry form. I think this story was more powerfully told like this.
I really like this one too. Funny, I imagined it a lot differently when I read it, versus the performance.
It would be interesting to hear how others interpret these stories.
I find it difficult to listen to them after I’ve posted them… I always mess up something here or there.

TY… I knew this was about somebody I know, but forgot who it was… I then realized I didn’t want to remember who it was, and that’s when I remembered who it was, and I regretted remembering who it was.
