IN TIME,ANONYMOUS,RUM DIARIES

Philosophy is timebound(as we are-
three score years and ten -"timed out"
certain minutes unspool until end credits roll-
so if ANON wrote Shakespeare/what matters more-
script or performances?RUM DIARIES or Hunter S Thompson's stories?
Fiction allows parables and allegories as metaphors-
writers are filmed only posthumously(to avoid contradictions)
Alive,we destroy drafts and present only polished apples
Gossip stains us when we leave the stage.
Anon wrote beautiful lies.Screenwriters expose and amplify them.
What was once a reminescence becomes a widescreen special effect
Visual joins with verbal in a love nest
You do not need to believe a dream
All that is important is that your eyes see,and your mind is enraged
Then a smile rises up like cigar smoke or a burned book.
Truth is not the issue ever-what matters most
is what you love.
