Palimpsest

Should have done more. Should have done less. Should have to all the failings fessed. But think not they were forgotten even if they are not clearly remembered, seeming, as it were, bracketed ellipses, some gone thing unremarked, unrecorded, a gap in the tape or a static interlude, indecipherable, forever lost but there all the same, a thing without a name which at the time seemed to have meant something but in memory is only a false meme, a blighted recollection, a blurred reflection in a filthy looking-glass of afterthought.
