sticky notes

i need

to write things down now,

make a note

of events

or appointments, birthdays,

or anniversaries,

or else they

pass by

as if they didn't exist.

i have sticky

notes everywhere,

on the computer screen,

on the bathroom

mirror.

on the bed post,

the kitchen

counter and fridge.

i even have a sticky note

in the car

saying, don't forget

to buy more

sticky notes at the store

tomorrow.
