You can read the poem here.

Billy Collins is an American poet, formerly New York State poet and Poet Laureate of the United States in the early 2000s. He has published 17 collections. 

This poem, "Forgetfulness" is lighthearted, but as serious as it gets too, as it considers the processing of ageing, of what is happening in our mind. As always, you’re invited to read the poem, and to allow it to speak to you however it speaks to you.
