In a room with no memory
          Walls without a name
Jessica builds a shrine --
          A shrine
                        to enclose time
          A shrine
                        of family and friends
          A shrine
                        made of
                        silver engagement rings --
                              of broken marriages
                        A high school portrait
                              of her young mother --
          Young
                        like Jessica is now
          Photos of friends
                        Who remember
                        What she has forgotten.
          Fading...

                  - Janet Si-Ming Lee (1997)
