tidy omissions

Imagine a story
made of the parts

left out from every
other story ever told
where they went to

the bathroom

from Adam & Eve
to King Arthur and
Guinevere down to
Ethan Hunt and his whole
Impossible Mission Force
team, even mighty Achilles
and The Beatles, sure

I hope we can admit
there's peculiar note
of omission, there - as if
we're afraid of something

we'd learn of ourselves
in the telling. Or maybe
we just know that part
stinks! And we'd rather
pass on to the more
interesting strive

and struggling
with shit
