Tell Me



tell me stories 

stories about yourself 

I don’t care 

make them up 


I’m a character 

in someone else’s 

book I don’t care 

we die in the end 


but in the pages 

we can be happy 

illustrated and endings 

are open-ended 


what do you want to know 

know about me 

let me think 

of something 


can we begin with 

once upon a time 

don’t tell me 

you’re too old for that 


it happens all the time 

I tell stories all the time 

no, they’re not lies 

if they’re musicals
