Playing ping-pong with memory
Sometimes she spikes the ball
So I get thrown back
Into a pretzel trying to retrieve
Those last few days in Zurich
Or the feeling when we reach the beach
Until my right hook shows up
And memory's caught off-guard
By everything I've forgotten
It used to bother me to lose
Not to take it personally
If my life is forfeit
If memory takes it all so seriously
Her only trophy is eternity
