Tell Me
Tell me my story,
I have quite forgotten
truth from fiction
my reality is a snail shell,
a spiral inwards
into an unpublished past.
I was never true; never false,
just not yet concluded
last pages still flutter loose
in a dust-storm.
Write me a novelty
some popular tale
I once told myself.
Keep it fake
keep it believable
keep it for tomorrow
when my reading glasses
return from the blind gods of
past & future
say nothing of this moment.
