Do I choose immediacy or reflection
when I record an event?
Which provides the most accurate recollection
of how things really went?
There is a case for catching memory in its youth
There is a case for catching memory in its youth
before it fades away
but the freshness of emotion can hide the truth
and resentment may stay.
Yet if you sit composing yourself for too long
you lose your direction
and what you once meant may come out completely wrong
and convey the wrong affection.
Do I choose immediacy or reflection
when I record an event?
Which provides the most accurate recollection
of how things really went?
