remembering yesterday a whole different way

how do you remember yesterday?
the same way your friends do?
husband does?
sister?
Do you remember it the way it happened?
Do you need to tell it the way it happened
the WAY it was?
or just what needs telling?
Let's be honest
you could only EVER write it how YOU saw it anyways...

I've been writing something..
and exploring a way to remember
a way to remember yesterday
a whole different way,
an out of order
jumbeled up,
unfactual
oopsied
opposite,
true
yet not exact
by any stretch of the imagination
sort of way.
and thought to myself...
SO THIS is what is meant by
"artisic licence"
this is what is meant when people say
the characters MAY resemble real people but in no way are intended to be representations of...
This is what this looks like...
THIS dragging pieces of life,
truths from my life,
from others lives
and pulling them all together to make characters
people all new
fresh, and alive on paper...
People that have not walked in this world with me,
but could have,
and in some ways did
in me, and with me...
Remembering yesterday a whole different way..
How do you choose to remember?
