i did get lost in that woods,
a forest of sorts. i’d read all
the stories, but you never think
this could be me, so i didn’t mark
any trees, left no trail of bread
crumbs. and if i’d never found
my way free, if i hadn’t made it
through the thick of it to this place,
well, i wouldn’t be telling you this
story, now, would i? what a laugh!
because i’m such a liar. aren’t i?
i mean, of course i am. i’ve probably
been sitting here in this cave for a
decade by now. just you and me.
