Remember and Forget
were walking down the street.
People were staring.
They couldn’t believe.
“Forget is renowned as Remember’s nemesis!”
“Remember, don’t be a traitor! Come, join us!”
Remember remained calm.
Forget’s eyes swelled and teared.
Remember looked at his friend,
a victim of people’s fears.
“Without Forget there’d be no need for me.
“Memory would be futile.
“People would never try to think.
“I am Remember. I could never forget a friend.”
With that Remember shifted his gaze from the crowd to Forget.
He locked eyes with his friend,
whose tears were all dried.
Thankfully, Forget couldn’t remember why he cried.
