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.
