the biography

so
full their lives appear to be.
the thick
book
documenting
each breath they took
from birth
until death.
telling us
who they slept with,
what they
ate.
who can stand such
scrutiny.
each foible listed,
each
mistake made.
most books, are short.
most
of our stories
have little to do with
history.
they just fade away,
thankfully.
