My Life as Memoir
My life has been lived
is being lived
will continue for some time
barring a fatal tragedy.
But I don’t know if mine
is a life worth remembering
worth having a memorandum of
worth a told story.
I don’t know that I’ve learned
anything of note
anything someone else has not known
anything others might learn from.
But maybe that doesn’t matter
in a memoir.
Writing my story in prose or verse
is still real
is still valid.
My life has been lived
is being lived
will continue to be lived
regardless of anyone else’s knowledge
of the details I love
the details that make me who I am
the details I may or may never share.
