Sometimes I
meet someone
from my past
who tells me
something I didn’t
know about
a common friend,
or enemy,
or event,
that completely
alters my
memory of
that person
or history.
Are all of
my memories
fungible?

Our memories are our memories…dont let someone else alter your own. We all have different perspectives in life. Your’s are just as valid as there’s

Yes, but I was thinking more of being told that, say, x and y were in a relationship, or z had cancer, or a was looking after an aged father, or b was a chess champion. Information unknown at the time which gives me a different perspective on my memory of events.

Aww yes. It does change the perspective. It doesn’t necessary change the memory though. Still a beautiful poem. ,💗
