Forgetless

  How often have we suffered the consequences of memory loss? 
Who on Earth knows...if anyone ever did? 
Herein lies the catch unlocked by the key 
of awareness that allows the ultimate inference. 

This is why we forget: it's a bandage to cover
the sight of the open wound we gashed in space.

It's necessary just in case
the course might be counter
corrected across the entire span of time.
