A Forgotten Memory

“Nothing brings to life again a forgotten memory like fragrance.”
–Christopher Poindexter

I walked into the dollar store after school
and the smell immediately made me think of my grandmother
and running errands with her on the weekends
and standing in a similar aisle,
where I talked her into buying me a new trinket for my dresser
and a box of markers
and a new word search book

It’s amazing how a certain smell can instantly take you back to another moment in time
