Names of plants
stars and constellations
capitals of the states
tropical Hawaiian flowers
I cannot retrieve now
in Puerto Rico
Orion’s companions
or Pleiades and Hyades
which is which cluster
Montpelier, Augusta, Boise
Albuquerque too
no, no, no, Santa Fe
so much lost
facts, faces, yesterday’s dinner
in memory’s dimming haze
replaced perhaps
with better knowledge
of how much we cannot know.
