track of mundane things.
us humanoid
people.
we remember trash
on Thursday,
the clocks
being changed.
turning the water
off in winter,
and back on
in spring.
we set alarms to rise.
after awhile we know
our place
in this world,
we know
what our duties are
to keep the trains
on time.
we remember
when to change a filter
in the house,
the oil
in the car.
the cleaning of our
teeth
each six months
without fail.
we smell the milk
to see if
it's sour. we read labels
to see if that
can of beans
has expired?
