the book about me

is there a book in all of us?

a long

winded tale

of our escapades from

the jump

until the near end, or should

we wait that long

and just 

go up till now?

is there enough drama,

enough

heart ache,

enough pain and sorrow,

is there birth

is there death, two necessities

to any great novel.

how much do you embellish,

expand,

extrapolate,

polishing the key components,

are you the hero,

the villain, or both?

tell me about the protagonist.

the plot line,

the complexities

of it all.

who would want to read this

memoir,

this biography of self?

would it sell. 

would there be a movie,

a series.

a season two.

a sequel.

or would it just be paper

binded and hard bound 

forever

holding up one end

of your wobbly ikea shelf?
