If We Remembered

 

If we remembered it all,
Every flare, flash, flicker,
New images every moment:
Would we overflow,
Like a cup under a waterfall?
Swell and stretch,
Burst like a balloon,
Slide into madness,
Memories jostling, crowding,
Erasing one another?
If every stone were a diamond,
Would they lose all value?
