Ancient Memories

I had a great idea while in bed
But when I got up, my brain went dead
Only took a moment's hesitation
That moment's caused annihilation

Whatever happened to instant recall?
If only I could find that windfall
A DVR recording of my mind
If only there were something of that kind

Memory is not as strong
Neurons not where they belong
Fading fast, but not a race
Capture it while still a trace

Where was I going? I can't remember.
Body is a May, mind December.
If not for a sticky to remind me
I would leave everything behind me.

Word is coming, tongue is flapping wildly
Thought beforehand guides its function mildly
But the thought has drifted as if spaceward
And the gibberish comes out, displaced word

Memory is not as strong
Neurons not where they belong
Fading fast, but not a race
Capture it while still a trace
