My Secret Life

If I had a secret life, it wouldn't be secret very long for I'm a talker, a reveler of words filled with stories that long to be heard; in the moving shadows of my days the heroes and the villains both are slayed and I am the bearer of bad and good news dependent on your beliefs and views; often, I may stand alone outspoken speaker bent and prone recalling the memories of all we've unlearned and everything history continues to spurn. I am a simplistic sage spewing out the lessons of an age where everything from the past has returned only to be recast; Hear my story as my life was played all the world is an imaginary stage and I an actor with nothing left to say just another pretender in the word play. Did you know? My Secret Life' is perhaps the most infamous of all underground Victorian erotica. It is the sexual memoir of a well-to-do gentleman who began at an early age to keep a diary of his erotic behavior. He continues this record for over 40 years, creating in the process a unique social & psychological document. For Caren Krutsinger's contest, "If I had a Secret Life"
