Reading about symptoms 
The loss of smell 
Has always correlated
To the function of memory 

No one can remember 
What it was like before 
Now we only see the smoke 
While few detect the fire 

In our sleepless rage
We are burning away 
What was burned in 
At such an early age 

Namely how to tell when  
The fire keeping you alive 
Might burn the place down 
While your senses are sleeping 

Rocks dashed against the clouds
