Anamnesis

I took my things the day I left you, 

I left you to the left,
Or was it to the right?

The left, I think that's right—

I can't recall anymore.

But besides the things I took,

I think I forgot to take

Some thing, or things,
(I can't recall anymore)
Which I left behind, to your right.

What was it? I can't recall,

What they were for, even that
I can't recall anymore—

Was it that many things

Which we shared?

Looking back I suspect that,

That which I left behind

Was something (or things)

Which helped me remember

The things I forgot,
Things I can't recall anymore.

Perhaps that's for the better,

and I'll just use what's left, 

To make right, what I can recall,
And leave together behind,
To the left, or the right—
It doesn't matter anymore.
