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.
