The Truth Is/ I Cannot Remember

The truth is I cannot remember I do not know all I have done- Most of it escapes me It seems the work of another person From another world - I don’t live then with all I am Or all of what I was But only with a small part of myself now And this small part of myself is enough for me- I try day by day To give another small part and to be in that And if I give it It is enough- But what I have been All I truly am All I have done I do not know- It escapes me I will never know Most likely no one will ever know- Waste fills the universe And that apparently Will be true about my own life and work, also.
