conceded and moved on you say
but not too sanctimoniously
the truth is less forgiving
if it is past tense it is rooted
in the same bedding mix that
raised enduring legends
that things changed is fair and
reasonable – optimistically they
weren’t particularly stable
but who made the actual play?
all nouveau facades rise easily
from ashes scattered randomly
remnants of real character’s
inventions are still out there
somewhere, languishing sadly
ruined in almost spontaneous
combustion of yesterday’s
too fragile personalities
