A small, yellow, paper-
Pinned to the board with a magnet.
On it, I have written-
A note. To myself.
I left it folded when I pinned it there.
I wonder what it says?
To know my own phone number, would I not first have to call myself?
Surely, to write oneself a note;
A reminder;
A memorandum;
Is to ensure that it will not be forgotten?
Why even pin it up?
Why even keep it?
Why not just throw it away?
Because it is folded. I have not yet read it.
Strangely, I have forgotten what I wrote to myself.
These hands that scrawled on the paper:
Refuse to let me in on their secret.
Suppose I'd better look for the phone book...

But your journals are interesting; I rather like them. This one reminds me of my many to do lists, most of which I forget about and end up throwing away. When I do look at them, it's either gonk I never got around to that stuff or biggrin Hey, I did something.
