27 Repetitions


from the ABC set Poetry

Just 27 repetitions
And you can remember anything
Care to give an example?
Knowing someone's name is one...

And so why is it I,
Now, have memorised your name, so
Damn well? It confusing because,
Really I've only known you
Eleven seconds... and
Why is it my heart aches?

Perhaps it's the way your
Amusing voice
Replays your introduction in my head and that I
Know truthfully, somehow,
Eleven seconds have dissolved and in
Reality, I've loved you 27 repetitions long
