1. a memory of a memory 2. remembering remembering
1992 I cannot remember this (remembering instead
the effect of picture books upon my psyche & dream), but I
keep with me in the pocket of my mind a rubbed-smooth
amulet of a rememory: a towheaded toddler, kneeling, head
bowed, hands and nose against the rough pungent surface of
the newsprint, examining the pattern for meaning.
