bleach
I think bleach might be the most forgotten
of all items
or more accurately, the most forgettable.
I think I have forgotten bleach
3 or 4 times this week,
already.
It’s Tuesday.
I want the bleach to clean my sink.
The porcelain is layered in stains.
But I forget it at the store, and when
I am trying to remember what errands I need to run,
I do not think, “get bleach.”
I only remember it
when I look at my sink,
and then it is not with any sense
of purpose, or intent.
Just a wistful little remembering -
“oh, bleach.”
yeah i had that problem before as well. i went to walmart to buy bleach but was distracted by other things. because it’s a huge bottle to carry so people usually will think, ‘oh i will look at other things first then i’ll just grab it and go.’ then it’s forgotten…
