biographer birth to death
not my mud nor home brew
chalk on wall, down dark hall
it took many noisy foot falls to get here

tit for tat is typical for anger that does not debate
stolen ideas
applied to the concept of forgiveness
precarious atonement
tapestries of other peoples lies
difficult verse
complex lives
simple survival

one plus one
no matter
results

an interesting look

at timelines and life lines. An excellent, ambivalent ending... very good.

mine own tether

is shorter than most

holds me to myself, and I cannot grow

except now through words

and sleep which is so hard

to come by, nowaday
