Between the lines
Is our history about today, or…
About our yesterdays and tomorrows
About conventions, memories or imaginings
Is it standing still, in motion or aping
Mine, theirs or ours…?
Depends on the teller
And the subject of the telling
Is the conqueror or vanquished
The author or the audience
Subject or the object…
Of it’s telling?
Which key do we turn?
To tell myth and reality apart
As they spin yet another yarn?
Which memory do we depend on?
To not believe in too many lies
Conscious, sub-conscious, rational or creative
Do we have what it takes, to read between the lines?
