Persistence of Memory

...Listen to me.
Like you, I know what it is to forget.

No, you don't know what it is to forget.

Like you, I have a memory.I know what it is to forget.

No, you don't have a memory.

Like you I too have tried with all my might not to forget.
Like you, I forgot.Like you, I wanted to have an inconsolable memory,
a memory of shadows and stone.
For my part, I struggled with all my might, every day, against
the horror of no longer understanding at all the reason for
remembering.Like you, I forgot...

Why deny the obvious necessity for memory?...
