Some Facility

There’s been a turndown in my learning capacity— It’s been more than five years since I could still Learn a new system of maneuvers with some facility, But that seems gone. I feel so simple-minded. All that I attempt is difficult, Whether it’s a new thing I want to learn and can’t Or some Swiss cheese topic I sweat to refresh, But cannot guess my way through or long retain. I veer away from each equally now Because I don’t like to be tested And I don’t like to admit it. You know, Whether TV shows are too complicated or too fast or I’m Just growing deaf, I’m always losing track of the story. I used to have A sharp imagination And a Velcro memory, But sometimes now it’s just mush. rcs. Current draft: 4/9/2010 Created on 3/5/ 2010 1:21 PM
