itch

tried to focus on the memory

but as I touched upon it

my mind skittered on

to the next one and the next

as if I had scratched an itch

that then jumped and spread, unsatisfied

meandering memories mesmerize my mind

forgetting, fabricating favorable falsities 

painting palpable pictures

 lacking lucidity
