Found Poem

Life is one found poem after another these days.  I am listening and listening and listening.  And there is love.  This, between two students, the other day:

Why is it so bad

To forget

In The Odyssey?

It's, like, a sin.

Because you are your story.

That's your life.

And if you forget it,

You won't know who you are

Anymore.

Oh.  That's deep.

So Odysseus doesn't want to forget

Because he wants to get home.

"You go where love takes you, and that's it." (Joseph Campbell)
