Picture of a Picture

Billy! His mother calls her son in for dinner notices he's missing his coat though he knows it's winter embarrassed she allowed him into the yard to play she decided to remember she told him to behave billy sang that he never had a coat that he could claim still the saying goes mother knows best to facilitate her own renderings maybe she was remembering everything as it was categorizing a memory when in truth it was never the actual events she was recalling rather how her memory had presented information stored that turns into present tense so according to her the situation represents yet another occurrence of Billy being dishonest ""now boy get your ass inside""""but mom I promise"" ""but nothing it's up straight to bed how dare you defy me I know what I said"" It's a picture of a picture a memory of memory comprises your existence and accounts for everything identity is a mindset subject I'm choosing to remember this like I get no second chances but to romance this past though it never happened I won't be damned if I'm subject to my retention I can reinvent that I leave out every single part that is hard to mention Billy hears his mother call him in for dinner surprised she let him go out dressed like this in winter it was cold she was right there was some regret it didn't need to be said that mother knows best. now she looks pissed as if he had just dismissed a direct order in short the message had been mixed her words versus his learns hers wins in turn this gives him further hits now his punishment is subject to his mothers disposition she said that he looked fine when they were standing in the kitchen picture of a picture never really being anything Billy was just a kid but insisted that what was said to me was me mere reflection of life lived in the past tense the only way to catch it is to be there when it happens surprised by his mother's reaction life slides by remember why it's so hard to capture She remembers always being there for him he remembers her actions were embarrassing she remembers giving words of wisdom he remembers those words were abysmal she remembers his bright future he remembers that home couldn't suit ya she remembers always keeping him warm he remembers never being warned she remembers her own memory he remembers all she was remembering she remembers a bittersweet end and he remembers all he can pretend
