it’s a good story

  it’s a good story


the man on the bench above the sea

telling me all about the short stories he’s about to publish 

soon

the word fell as a cold pebble

barely a ripple in an ocean of words

soon the echo came 

soon

i said i wished him luck

it’s a good story 

i let that lie there

but publishing is hard i remonstrated 

about the system 

he had more stories

of my eyes drifting out to sea

the surf pounding out the meter

you were saying

i was saying


it’s a good story
