Memories:
Clogging the neurons;
The brain is bursting
at its seams
and you cannot afford
To sew it,
All over again.
Swallow that pill,
And remember what
Eloisa said to Abelard
* The title is from 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. The character played by Kirsten Dunst, Mary Svevo quotes Pope's poem to her boss, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak.

Love how 'the brain is bursting at its seams and you cannot afford to sew it'.. yet so often we try to mend the tears.
hmmm maybe we all need one of those memory sticks, that way when it gets too much we empty it all and start anew... nah... too evasive... good poem!!!
Nice take on the prompt...
Love "The brain is bursting
at its seams
and you cannot afford
To sew it"
