  A question worth asking. At first read they would appear the same but upon further contemplation they are vastly different, The difference between brainwaves and a dream, of mind and the brain. Nicely conceived it speaks this and more in an economy of words and that is what poetry is. Well done

  This is a beautifully spare philosophical poem, turning the relationship between identity and memory into a quiet question about whether we carry our past or whether our past carries us.
  “are memories / a drifting boat, / with us / riding in it?” is the keeper for me, because it gently overturns the first image and leaves us wondering just how much control we really have over the journey.
