“Conceive of memory not only as ‘rote,’ the ability to reproduce something (whether a text, a formula, a list of items, an incident) but as the matrix of a reminiscing cogitation, shuffling and collating ‘things’ stored in a random-access memory scheme, or set of schemes – a memory architecture and a library built up during one’s lifetime with the express intention that it be used inventively.” – Mary Carruthers, The Craft of Thought
Lisa, over at The Truth Hurts has a wonderful tribute to crows in her Poetry Thursday entry. I'd like to think it was done just for me, but I suspect its inspiration stems from a birthday gift.

No, no, first I got the gift, then I got your appreciation, then YOU got my Thursday brown-nosing.
See how that works?
Nah, my husband doesn't either.
Anyway, he's a(and you've) inspired me further, so next Thursday's poem will be bird-lorish too. Aaah, aaah, aah, no peeking.
