The Moment of Forgetting

You cannot remember
The moment of forgetting
But that is a moment
You’ll never forget

What did you forget
A key to your house or car
A pot cooking on the stove
Now you notice your forgetting

The moment when you notice
Your forgetting, you long for
Years of youth when you laughed at
Forgetting, delighted and innocently 

Gone by the days of your ignorant past
The new knowledge is the opposite of
Wisdom growing. Forever you’ll remember
This never-forgettable moment
