Any Old Actress

so let the sadness come again
(just like it’s all been said before)

tired love songs & quaint complaints
blackened kisses & ancient wishes

retrace terpsichores time-lined face
w/wrinkled hands to guide the steps
My life story revolves around several trite themes. They’ve all been done many times, and infused with much more sincerity than I could ever acquire. I suffer from no misconceptions that my experience has been unique or striking in any way.
The only noteworthy aspect lies in the great attention and study I’ve concentrated on my life in an effort to learn; to acquire as much knowledge and as varied an experience as one life can offer.
