Let’s inhabit
the movie version of you.
Who plays your character?
What about you
needs to be reworked?
If the events in your movie are 90% true,
are you a hero or a tragic figure?
Are you a star,
or just a supporting cast member?
What if your real life
just isn’t that interesting?
Might you be an extra in someone else’s story?
Would you give up
the richness of your real life
to be the flattened movie version of you?
I wouldn’t.
Not even if it meant I was loved.
Trail Wood,
