POEM: Dissolving Past

POEM: Dissolving Past

I've heard it speculated that all times exist at once, and that our consciousness merely shines a light on a sequence of nows. But it sure feels like the past frays; that it's dissolving from the edges. Worm-eaten in a way that works its way to the heart. The center reads clear for now, but one day... poof, it'll be lost.

You'll awake to find whole tracks of life are lost - like slides that were water damaged in the flood.

What happened in 1997? I'd need some sort of prompt to even make a guess.
