The Hamlet Project

Is there a way to say this without an exclamation mark?
Remember thee?! Remember thee?!
Seems required. As if a ghost could be forgotten.
As if a father could be forgotten.
As if the ghost of a father could be forgotten.
As if the revelation of the truth could be forgotten.
As if murder might be brushed under the rug
Swept out of sight of the emotions, of memory
As if a person could learn of the murder of this father and simply let it go,
Simply forget, simply pretend it hadn’t happened.
One could not forget the news, or the event, of this moment.
One could forget one’s name and what time one has to be at work
But this would stick
Because memory is inextricably linked to emotion
We are built to remember what hits us hard. It’s sensible for our survival.
