“According to a recent study, just as you can’t step in the same river twice, your memories are changed by the act of recalling them, meaning that every memory we have is colored by the times we’ve recollected it before… recalling a memory more often makes that memory less accurate, and that every time you take a memory off the shelf in your brain, you put it back just a tiny bit different” (Chant 2012).

How I looked on this day
Was different from how I felt
Was different from what I thought
Was different from what I was
How I looked on this day
on this 12′ x 8′ screen
in 1080P
is different than it looks in my memories, my memories
It’s different than how it looks in my memories
It’s different than what I envision
Different from how I feel, different from what I remembered last time
When I hold out my hand
And touch my memory
