Swift drift

The contents of the coming lines  
are taken from what lies behind  
projected to my reading mind  
persuading it that it did find  
   
a way to write its thoughts ahead  
'though they're rewritten past instead  
taken for something never read  
'though experienced before instead    
   
then strangely put to read through words    
so an illusion just occurred    
but the very way it seemed to work  
stays after all really absurd  
   
wrapped in future obscurity  
since if this all was only memory  
   
the meaning seems trapped by a creed  
that is experienced as a need  
for finding some new ways indeed  
just to divine the future's seed  
   
even remembering is new  
each and every very now we do  
what exactly is coming through?  
what reality's out of the blue?    
   
Even the future coming to be...  
what if this all was only memory?  
   
is there a way to disagree...    
what if this all was nothing but memory?  
My strangest doubt did ask me  
what if this all was only memory?  
   
how could I never see...  
what if this all was nothing but only memory
