Memories

By johntaiyu



He said he didn't remember
the thing they say happened
when he was four,
with the babysitter.

He also doesn't remember
the deal with the 11 year old either,
even though
that was just a few years ago.

And the thing he has now,
the one with the other little boy,
and whose idea it was
to suck penises first,
he doesn't remember either.

All the while,
in this conversation,
the parents just look onward
as if wishing
they could say
they don't remember
either.
