i can't remember

[Doreen Peri]

i can't remember
if i took today's meds.
the bottles are opened
at the side of the bed.
if i don't take enough
they may find me dead.
if i goof and take double
i'll sure be in trouble.

Liked this poem a lot, one I can relate to very well.



How come I can remember stuff from sixty years ago but I can't find my car keys because I forgot where I just put them?

Thanks, Jack.

Short term memory and long term memory are tricky things. I knew the answer to your question once upon a time but unfortunately, I can't remember what it is.
