Lapses or Something Else

 

Lapses, or are they brain synapses?

I never made the connection before.

Either something ‘clicks’, or it doesn’t.

Here’s a rhyme for my age group - holy crapsis!                        💩

I’d hoped my sick mind would be better this weekend.

The library loaned me a Stephen King novel.

It vanished, just as a horror story would.

Retracing my steps has not met a good end.  📚

Had I neglected to lock up my car -

making the Master writer’s work more appealing?

Some fans of dark fiction collect nefarious tales

but this was the worst way to do it, by far.       -🚙

Might I, some days from now, recover my brain or the book? 

Do these forgetful spells predict Alzheimer’s? 

A lesser (but still scary) thought just came to mind.

Did my thrift store donations include this ‘find’ for a crook? 👿

That leaves me to wonder about my mind’s fate? 

Come Friday, when the thrift store reopens,

Will I retrieve - or repay - for the lost novel? 

Or blame early dementia - a family trait.                                        😥
