Pause

It does get easier with time.  My brain takes at least an hour or two before it seizes.  I have learned when I must take it easy.  Pause.  I am gone for the seizure, but there are reminders left behind.  The same questions arise from those who perhaps haven't asked them before: Do they know what causes them? they ask.  I have epilepsy, I say.  

It gives pause:
The coming to
The waking up
The bit tongue
A reminder I have left
And returned.
Pause.
Almost
A re-set button.
Still
I never return
To square one.
I’m not sure anyone
Ever returns
To square one.
Pause.
Here it is again.
