I remember nothing

a sketch for a poem

Every time I blink my eyes open to a new world,
There is always repetition.

Faces I don’t know appear and recall events that I cannot.
Everything is new and confusing.

Words are uttered and evaporate into nothingness,
The subjects and sounds only connect with the immediate moment,
I remember nothing.

All that remains is syntax,
Words clatter and clutter,
Nothing follows nothing follows nothing follows nothing,
Ever present, neither here nor there.

I'm not sure if it works, so any feedback is appreciated

Very enigmatic. I feel frustration and perhaps resignation. Mysterious.
