I have.

Can you tell me?
I hoped you remembered.

I have no idea,

no clue.

Maybe

I wasn’t listening

or it went over my head

or it doesn’t matter?
I wish I could go back

to when

why we are here was explained,

if this happened. Maybe it never happened?
Were you there?

I heard some reasons that don’t sound true-

no matter how classy and with certainty said.

I don’t think I am the only one

that’s forgotten,

or is uncertain

or feels sloppy misplacing the answer-

or was never told it in the first place.
Because The Telling

does not exist?

Or did it?
