All around
"There is a difference..."
They say
"Between telling a story and being a story, "
I agree.
I have read Iliad (in Rush)
And Odyssey (the same)
That is telling a story
Brain storming; nice
But the girl
Her neck thin
Her pants hanging
Her hands to her sides
In India
Hung after rape
And the bearded American soldier
Exchanged by Taliban
A deserter to some
Valuable to some
They are the stories
Never correctly told
As are
One breathless
One forced into breathlessness
Copies of the Homer's heroes
And their similars
All around
