This Story Desperate To Live Again

The ones I haven't heard
are the ones I want to hear.
The end doesn't end. Themes

are a simple kind of love.
Something will happen
to get there.

Memory isn't important.
You will remember
a thousand times

in different ways.
You will know the characters,
if I do my job,

as you know yourselves.
You've made the story smile.
You can go now.

This is one of those rare poems that should be anthologized. Send it out immediately to an elite magazine.

Thanks Bob, I lack confidence. I write so many poor poems that I forget I can write a good one once in while.
