Counting syllables . . . measuring memory

Political events of this past week (involving a candidate nominated by President 45 to serve on the Supreme Court) have triggered my thinking about the transience of memory.  Here is a Syllable-Snowball poem that includes some of these musings:

What happened back then?

My

sister

disagrees --

her version of

our  growing-up  lives

   so          often         discrepant

     from mine. Each new year -- 

  new           distances,

new    angles,

shape our

 views.
