Writing My Autobiography Poem by Tom Berman

Writing My Autobiography



Am I
that figure
at the wrong end
of a telescope
receding
into time past?

distanced memories
unrequited innocence
in a simplistic spring
a fingerpost
to a starker summer

I recall, now,
that telescopes
are used
by those
who gaze out
to the stars

I've seen the other-end-of-the-telescope analogy before but you do a good job with it.
