getting the nod

crammed with convolutions a head gesticulates volumes,
that tome carrying contraption formerly known as memory
treats conviction like a bad case of the grey-areas
and it all hinges on a not-on-your-nellyism belief
that some things just won’t wash
…well, we’ve all heard stories of forgetting
but when you get the nod from amnesia
it really is time to give recollection the slip
and head straight for the
