remember that thing that happened
and how it made you feel
and what was said
and what was done
and what was unsaid
and what was undone
and who was there
and who was absent
and who was there without really being there
and who was absent without really being absent
and what came before
and what followed
and what came before the thing that came before
and what followed the thing that followed
and what it all meant
and what it taught you
about you, about us,
about life, about God, about the universe
remember that thing that happened
