My recollection of events long past
of who said what about something
or which events occurred at a date
and who did what to someone else
present themselves to me as a true
unbroken record of palpable proof
whilst only being malleable videos
showing my past in my own favor
proving me in all arguments right
showing me always in a good light
my mind edits these movie scenes
appeasing my guilt and conscience
what am I to do with this very fanciful
and benevolent documentary of me,
that forges a new truth about my life?
… I will take it gladly and ask for more.
