Memory getting worse.
Another word drifting away.
Heard it only last week,
but where?
“Going to have to cancel.
Nasty dose of apophthegm.”
“Down the mountain with eyes of flame
Thundered the dreadful Apophthegm.”
“Breeding pair of apophthegm
Spotted in Upper Silesia.
Location being kept secret.”
“The count
is a direct descendant
of Apophthegm the Magnificent.”
“The final blow
was the sinking of the Apophthegm
with the loss of all hands.”
“Two more apos, Boris.”
Maybe just leave it
to live its own life.
