National Poetry Month - Day 6

You are frozen as this photograph of you
an imagination
bend yourself to fit my memory;
your memory is quite different, because you see reality in hindsight:
20/20
a dream that changes each time
what could have been, but actually never was. Unfreeze!
Everyone shuffles, makes poses to exemplify their lives
the pretend-believe of it all.

This is who you thought you were three years ago...

Who you are now fails all expectations. Breaks
all rules.

You always did...you never really could help it.
