Things have memory

Like the cob on the corn

Like the beads around her waist

Like the blades of dark green grass

Things have memory

Like the torn suits handed down

Like the worn out shoes passed on

Like all the village huts

Things have memory

Like the stars in the night sky

Like the smiles all shared by folks

Like the chainsaw used for trees

Things have memory

Like the scars that cover her body

Like the rotting smell of the dead

Like the foul stench o’ burnt flesh

Things have memory

Like the waters from Zambezi

Like the birds that fly down south

Like the fish in the river Nile

Things have memory

Like a roaring sea

Like a buzzing bee

Like you, & me

A host of memories

I am followed by a host of memories,

Memories of you; like spirited breeze

On my skin: a rousing tease.

I was deeply alone when I met you.

Never thought I'd meet someone and yet you

Changed my life so I can never forget you.

Yes, I want to turn around, back again,

Bring you along so we can remain

Together and forever heal all pain.

Ohm y you’re so persistent.

Ohm ohm What are you AT MAN?

Meditating.

Why?

It helps me resist any thought that comes to my mind that shouldn't be there.

Does it work?

It does work if I practice every day?

So persistence pays off?

Yeah.

I sit here conducting my thoughts.

I direct my thoughts through my internal filter to block any bad thoughts that come to mind.

What do you do with the good thoughts?

I embrace them and hold on to them,while bad thoughts rush through my mind.

Its like all my thoughts are rushing to a waterfall.

So I retain all the good words while building a mindful barrier.

So why do you shout?

I thought meditation was suppose to be peaceful?

You try sitting in this position for an hour!

Is it good for your memory?

In a weird way.

What do you mean?

I tend to get flashbacks of my day,and the funny thing is that when I'm not comfortable in this position,I tend to get negative thoughts.

So persistence in your discipline,strengthens your body and your mind?

Yeah,the negative thoughts are dwindling.

Is YOGA and acronym for something?

I know you're interested in what I'm doing.

But could you please wait til I'm finished my session!!!

YOU'RE OVERLY GALLING AUM!!!

A Memory

Inanimate things

are dependent upon us

to have memory.

Socks know it’s their job,

whenever they’re in the dryer,

to ditch their partner.

The end table leg

cannot recall what it did

to deserve your kicks.

The stove worries that

you will doubt you turned it off

once you are airborne.

Car keys remember

to be inconspicuous

when you’re running late.

The torn plastic bag

holding your carton of eggs

hid its flaw in shame.

The roll of TP

forgot to mention it’s low.

But you’ll soon find out.

It’s only when we

project experiences

that stuff comes alive.

The Seat in the Chair

There's something about

that seat there...

There's a dent that tells

someone sat and sat there

There's a weight in the indent

a sense of importance there

There's a thought somebody

of import waited there...

There's the sound of thinking

that's suggested deep in there

There's the thought of respect

in that dent of the chair.
