Fog

A poem about brain fog

Then there’s that other one that symptom
forgetting things before you know them
What’s it called?
Something like a cloud or is it a cloud?
A Cloud of Unknowing like the book
I bought it and still haven’t read it
Or is it…………
I’m sorry what was I saying?
Yes, symptoms like a cloud
Like a brain cloud 
that’s what killed Tom Hanks
in Joe Versus the Volcano, right?
No wait, he doesn’t die in that one
Sorry, what was I saying?

In this poem I try to capture the feeling of dealing with brain fog. Let me know if you can relate
