CATCH 22

To invent the stories

I have no such gift.

I only had the crazy courage

To live them all.

Why then

Now

just to tell

I hesitate and fear?

All these youthful sins

and mischiefs

from the past

You will be quick

to judge, I know.

Please don’t, not so fast!

It would be unjust

to charge me twice.

For all these stories

I have paid the price

I only have kept

no receipts

to show.

Just hear them

And don’t look away

All shocked

When it’s all said

And I am ready to go.
