Why would he have lived, if not for the memories.

"Ok, so, you want to go, right?"
and she turned away.
"No, not really.
My wishes go with your wishes, you know".

And, now,
remembering those conversations.
Why would he have lived,
if not for the memories.

"What is the difference between existence and living?"
He says,
"I am living right now,
I don't ever want to end up being an existence".

There are slight imperfections
in Schubert's piano sonata in D Major.
Its plain,flat, too easy
not to put your own little strokes.

There are certain memories.
They are not permanent.
They are hypnotizing.
They require triggers.

Schubert's piano sonata
was his trigger.
It was a switch
he hadn't and didn't want to turn off.

Why would he have lived,
if not for the memories.
