The Notebook Of All You’ve Lost

How do I choose?
After all the new notebooks
I’ve bought for the cover art,
shape or color or weight of the paper
How do I shop for this?
My wise friend’s experienced advice
is to document this
with dates and details
the sad and scary story
of how many ways
your mind and memory
are leaving you behind
How do I choose
a notebook for this—
the story of all you’re losing,
of all you’ve already lost?
