No Showtimes Given

In the repertoire of life, repeat performances

are never given.  Improvisation is the aesthetic,

variations on a theme.  Beginnings  

in the realm of moments forever ending.

“Once upon a time,” echoing throughout

eternity.  Calls for, “Play it again” are heard

but never repeated.  Even our memories 

change over time, one thing changing another.

I could carry a sign – The Life and Times of Byron

Hoot – and know how true and false the story,

how impossible the task of words to catch

experience, how life improvises what I would

otherwise leave out.
