Fantasies endure the test of time. Out of myths emerge identities. Underneath the prose there is the rhyme, Revealing what was not and could not be. There is a well-worn scrim across the past, Hard to see through, absent light behind: Old, self-serving stories made to last, Fictive landscapes painted on the mind. Just listen to the songs of who you are: Underneath your words are melodies Long rehearsed, the bedroom door ajar, Years ago, when truth was meant to please.
