Life: Stay Awake for It
In which I remember the one story that truly matters
Mar 31, 2021
I live and breathe stories
truth or fiction
they inhabit my every cell.
If I’m not writing, I’m reading
my whole life consists of stories.
But what if I’ve read
all the stories that matter
except one?
In the end
what if I’ve missed the one
that matters the most —
my own?
(It’s your life —
pay attention.
It’s the only one
you get — so
stay awake for it.)
