The Tracking Is the Package

Memories will be altered
Through frequent rehearsals and
Likely exaggerated.

They may dwindle from neglect,
Get overgrown, become lost
Tracks for archeologists

To rediscover and sift
One meter-square at a time.
But they aren’t ashes in jars.

There’s no cornucopia
Holds the passing of your days.
You’re the elaborations

Of complicated patterns
You made as you made your way.
