The Revisionist - All Else Failed

The fat lady’s finishing.

The returns are diminishing

The triumph, the tragedy: a breathing dichotomy

It all looks the same to me.

Revisionist history

This hindsight is a cataract.

This valentine’s heart attack

The triumph, the tears.

We’re showing our years in history

Remember.

Recall.

Revise.

Rewrite all my mistakes, and hope everyone else

forgets

My memory selective … and overprotective

It all looks the same now.
