One can perhaps remember
growing up a certain way.
And then have memories
mean something else in retrospect.
A toddler, for example, might
remember an attempt to kill the president
not for the event but for the feeling
in his mother's eyes when she heard the news.
And then that child might years later
see half-remembered footage
and have context
for a lot of other things.
There might be truth
to these “new” thoughts,
if one can call thoughts “new”
that seem so rooted in the past.
But with what eyes, what heart, what mind
does one look back?
And what exactly
are we looking at?
