Absent Minded
Mental note word association memory
There are tricks
and tips
to memorise grocery lists
there are all sorts of things
like word association to make you remember things
but i do this with my favorite memories
I will never tell you my words or exactly how i do it
for it would give you too much power
but you too can choose to write a list as you go
of things you never ever want to forget
things you want to remember forever
your memories for when you dont have the book youve written
the songs that remind you of something
you can tell your brain how to work in certain ways
and it will amaze you
now i dont know the limit
and im not sure how long it lasts
but like remembering to buy tomatoes
by imaginig you squishing them between a body part
memories surely can be remembered
they can also be triggered
many words i make up are memories i never want to forget
some of my more fond memories are everyday words
and as i read they spring from my mind
and these heartstrings are pulled
Maybe im easier to mess with
maybe im more difficult because im in my own little world
but mental notes
like remembering dreams
takes practice
like meditation
once taught works
im not sure how to delete amemory
i dont want to teach you how to mess with your own head
but i know through my own word association
and memory tricks
life seems enhanced and different
Everyone has a selctive memory
now select what you want to remember
and if you need to be selfish with the words you want to affect you and how
but be wary you are your own experiment
and tips
to memorise grocery lists
there are all sorts of things
like word association to make you remember things
but i do this with my favorite memories
I will never tell you my words or exactly how i do it
for it would give you too much power
but you too can choose to write a list as you go
