Tips from the Bar: The Memento Prompt

A prompt from poet and comedian Ron Prudent, via doortender Michael F. Gill:

Write a poem using the non-linear narrative structure of the movie Memento. Use your odd-numbered lines (first line, third line, fifth line, etc.) to tell a story, and your even-numbered lines (second, fourth, sixth, etc.) to tell the same story, but starting from the end and working backwards. Both plots should converge at the end of the poem.
