Taking Out the Trash
Photo Fiction with a Science Fiction Twist
part of the
Tales of the Nav
series
Taking Out the Trash
Time to clear the memory banks
Things I'd rather not have seen
Lovers that shouldn't have been
Places I shouldn't have gone
Memories that need erasing
Pointers
Like dogs to a bone
Or a house,
that was never a home
Some old man
Some young girl
Do you even remember doing this?
Years of time in a room
Thinking
Picking,
Choosing
Where you will go?
If you could?
If only you could...
Would you be happier?
Would you?
Different roads
Different alleys
Different turning points in life...
Different doorways
portals...
Places to sleep
And Eat
Hearts to break
Memories to make
Would it have been better?
To have kept on walking?
Taken a different path?
Kept her waiting?
Never stolen her heart...
My seat at the table...
Or all of the rest.
I could have gone...
Anywhere...
Anything...
A dog's life...
Second thoughts?
Wavering feet?
I do not have any knowledge!
Nor if I did...
I am free...
No lock for the key.
Even if I did,
I can't imagine anyone
ever wanting to go there again...
