ivor .e hogg - Senior Moment

sometimes I forget
what I intended to do.
what does it matter

thoughts come and thoughts go
shadows dancing on the wall,
they have no substance.

my thoughts are not me.
without them would I exist?
Probably

Would I cease to be?
like shadows in the sunlight,
irrelevancies.

I come to myself
I am in control again.
a mere hiatus.

acting normally
do what I intended to.
senior moment.
