B

 


[B]

 

His thoughts about her, her thoughts about him

as much a mystery as anything said

bitchin’ in the kitchen, together in bed

intoning on phones, taking life for a spin

minutes days years lost to Biography

as the best of times lives behind closed doors

not even hid in a subordinate clause -

all that writing still forever Plan B.

 

Inexplicable, their very presence

their friends their secrets their hither and yon

earliest memories, latest diversions

their voices their faces the so-called essence

the happily ever after the once upon -

all Biography’s but the Beta version.
