memory st.

can memories be forgotten?is it just a hope?or do you forget when you're 60?or when you're about to die?or do memories stick to you like cellophane.wrapped around your limbs,eyes,mouth.do they bury you in them?and if the memories were all you had and they were all you were,then can you forget yourself no matter how old you get,how sick you fall,how hard you try?
