I sometimes wonder 
out loud 
inside 

are memories not better
then what is happening now 

is life not best viewed in hindsight 

is even the best experience not consumed 
by the one just following 
and following
lost in the moment
leftovers in memory 

is the completion
the memory of the rush
cooled down
not better

can it not be remembered over and over
like a picture on the wall 

but I was wondering
when is enough
enough

are 10 good memories not enough
or 50
a 100
a 1000
?

Something else… I have written to my memory that from now on, the only good thing coming from America is Dolly Parton; the rest is just bullshit…well OK, that expression is also something of value left over from what was once called the land of the free.
