Certain Dates

Certain dates we don’t forget

For it is automatic

To think about events which

In our lives were quite traumatic.

 

November twenty-second and

Eleventh of September

Are dates my generation

Will just naturally remember.

 

But other dates are personal

And even if I tried,

I never could forget today,

The date my father died.

 

Each year I flash back to that time

And feel that jolt of pain

That 12/10 on the calendar

Will trigger in my brain.
