every story is told
in the moments it happens
then retold with a subtle change
here, a side plot there
an ending more colorful
or dazzling than the original
we do that don’t we
in a hundred telling’s
dress up the tale
as the drama grows
what starts as a sparrow
becomes a scarlet macaw
maybe you can only trust
a plain bird to tell the truth
but then who knows
maybe what it wanted
all along
was to wear
some beautiful feathers
