Remembering 14

Remembering

It's not so much a question of

What I know

It's how good am I at remembering 

What I know

In that instant

When I need to know it

Chew,breath,stand stright 

Relax

Still after all these years (77)

I tense up, shallow breathe and gulp my food

And allow tension, inpatients and anger 

But much less than ever before

My retraining continues

I will intensify my efforts

To greet each instance with

Gratitude, good humor and awareness

All is well
