POETRY ON MEDIUM

Slides. Dissociation. Slides.

A poem of Dissociative Identity Disorder

Most people seem to remember everything
From the day
They accidentally killed someone
But not me.

I see slides
The old school kind
Presented on a wall or screen
From a projector
In the 1990’s.
Like a fucking missionary presentation.

Click.
There’s a picture
It’s clear
I remember this.
