Memory's Trash

« La memoire n’a pas de poubelle. »

—Fred Vargas (pseud.), Un lieu incertain [An Uncertain Place]


"Memory has no garbage bin."

Its contents can’t be thrown away.

Recollections ugly as sin

Remain forever fixed to stay.

Be careful, then, what you toss in.

It’ll be there when you’re old and gray!

Cremation makes a fine dustbin—

Disremembering Nature’s way.
