. the story of my life .

i could write the story of my life remembering all that was,

forgetting the things i forget. i could start at the beginning,

work through to the end when it comes. it could be that way.

may be, i have already written much of it in bits and scraps

here and there. such is the way of it. some things come random.

not as you expected. i was to tell my story, you said.

i cannot be

bothered. there is no interest.

if there is, it can be googled, gathered, stitched quilt like into some

image.

i cannot remember my granpa fondly, for he was dead a while before.

you told me your tale, silk tongued, the things you wished me to know.

not

impressed.

no need to impress. cat piss leaves on skin leave black marks. remember?

recall the smell.

i could write the story of my life.
