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.
