Memory Foam
by Andrea Cohen
Why stop there?
I want memory
underwear and a memory
chair. The stair
should be a memory
stair, wherever I
appear should remember
me, and you, when
we first meet, since
you’ve been laboring—
I guess—like the rest
of us, as a memory
apprentice, can step
inside my undulations.
Come, remind me
why we bend.
