Description
Children do not forget.

We were on the cusp of greatness,
standing on worn, wise shoulders
you cast us down the wishing well
our innocence drowning in rigid expectation.

Dial tones
letters
we do not answer the call
our response irrelevant
to your adult sensibility.

Lurching in your death rattle
we are folded in pages of your forgotten history
only are we perfect
when desperate fingers have
nothing else to cling to.

Children, we
do not forget.
