Analysis of How do you?
Marisol Anthony 1975 (Brooklyn)
How do you catch a memory?
When time gives us less hours to even think.
What do you do when the memory fades?
Try to keep moving. Eventually life repeats itself.
Still images only stand for a second.
Then zoom away to wait in line, to do it all over again.
And again I ask...
How do you catch a memory, when the memory does not want to be found.
