POEM: Sepia Seeps In

By Berniegourley @berniegourley

I see my twenties in sepia tone - grainy

- not to mention flat.

Should it surprise me that my memories are cast in the hue of old photos?

I never remember owning the pants that I see myself wearing.

It seems to me that if I really remembered that time I should remember the pants.

A kid born today will probably have holographic selfies,

and thus a chance to look back on youth in 3-D,

but it'll never be quite right, will it?
