Repeat. Replay. Retract what you say. A cycle. A circle. Bruises fading to yellow from purple. Comments hurtful. Concerns merciful. You're so damn beautiful. Avoid the cubicle. Enter. Exhale. Take the first step, unafraid to fail. A late night scheme that doesn't work in AM reality. A long distance idea that blurs out of focus each mile I get nearer. The facts far from the story's continuity are getting clearer. You can't lie convincingly to the mirror. Imagine the image arriving any minute. Well rehearsed lines of your truth and how you spin it between capability, culpability, authenticity, and animosity.
