About The Thing Lost / Joshua Alan Sturgill
I didn’t.
Maybe you did.
In any case,
it isn’t here
Last seen
on the kitchen counter.
Last seen driving away.
Who’s in charge
of cleaning up?
Did we check
with the restaurant
or the supermarket
in case it’s there
at the front desk
at the back office
We’ve adjusted,
meanwhile. Catastrophe
or inconvenience?
Hard to say.
But the mind
catches itself, going
over and back, trying
to retrace
the breadcrumb path
of our communal
memory
