I continue opening boxes.
I find more faded and cracked photographs
than I ever again want to see.
I find many engraved invitations to the weddings
of people who are no longer married.
I find many mass cards from the funerals of people
whose faces I no longer remember.
In theory these mementos serve to bring back the moment.
In fact they serve only to make clear how inadequately
I appreciated the moment when it was here.
How inadequately I appreciated the moment when it was here
is something else I could never afford to see.
