Motivated forgetting is a psychological defense mechanism whereby people cope with threatening and unwanted memories by suppressing them from consciousness.
—Amy N. Dalton and Li Huang in Badagry there is a hung-
ry well of water and memory loss. in Badagry there was a well
of people lost across a haven of water. in Badagry there was
a port overwhelmed in un-return. to omit within the mind is to ebb
heavenward. memory is a wealth choking the brain in un-respons-
ibility. violence in the mind and the mind forgets in order to remember
the self before the violence begot.
in Badagry trauma washes ungod-
ly memory heavenward. in Bad-
agry there is an attenuation well
meant to wish away a passage, meant to unhaven a people.
violence is underwhelming in return. what the body eats,
the mind waters. responsible is the memory for un-remittal.
royal is the body for return. god is the mind for wafting. forgetting
is a port homeward. in Bad- agry hungry memory grows angry.
in Badagry the memories un- choke. trauma un-eats the royal.
in Badagry there is a heaven of people responsible for the birth-
right of remembering, for the well of us across a haven of water
overwhelmed in un-return. |
