    Don't Remind Me

    Homecoming

    What the hell

    You were...

    I was...

    We were...

    Nothing I suppose.

    But I wanted

    Want

    Present tense

    Present feeling

    Present

    You

    Right?

    Maybe...

    Yes.

    Now and then

    You smile

    For some

    Reason that

    I don't really understand

    And it makes me

    Remember that

    Remember what

    Remember

    Why?

    I'm not the same person right?

    Right?

    Or maybe I am and

    I am the only

    One

    Who didn't notice

    Prom

    Last year

    You weren't even on my mind

    There were two

    Two people

    That I

    Wanted

    Past tense

    Past mistake

    Past

    But now

    When I see

    That smile

    When I hear

    That laugh

    When I know

    You're near

    I forget

    Forget that

    Forget what

    Forget them

    And I think

    That maybe

    I really don't want

    To remember

    But I then again

    I can't forget

    Maybe that event

    That stupid

    Horrible

    Crappy

    Heartbreaking

    Event

    Will burn in my mind forever

    But maybe

    Maybe

    It won't

    And you won't hurt me

    Like he did

    Like him

    Like it

    You might

    Love

    Me....

    Anybody who whose words can put a 77 year old geezer back into that embarrassing high school Prom ritual again is a damn good poet! I also like the Haiku -like simplicity of the poem's structure.

    You paint a very vivid picture

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
