Forget Me Not From the beginning many have seen the end When the Sun goes across the Moon We make comfort in become just that The first word in a poem should be a thought But that is impossible when you have to lead, let alone when you trun and walk away into correct silence like dining without drinking True like loving being white That spit won't explain I did not think for a second in the current when I said Ilove you

This 'Forget Me Not' page treats poems, love, and endings as things that rarely begin with clear thought and are often spoken in the middle of motion.

It keeps breaking the expectation of orderly composition. Correcting the scan-level OCR errors restores the strange syntax while letting the final 'Ilove you' land as an impulse carried by current rather than design.

A second 'Forget Me Not' makes composition itself the subject: 'The first word in a poem should be a thought / But that is impossible when you have to lead'. Walking away becomes 'correct silence like dining / without drinking', and the strange equation 'True like loving being white / That spit won't explain' resists resolution. The run-together close 'Ilove you' is offered as something said 'in the current', impulse rather than design.
