Write it as Fiction

Life's so short But feels so long I've forgotten so much Clutch my stories close Keep notes No embellishments required Oh god I'm tired They say everyone's got a book in them Mine's more readable than most I was like a ghost Transparent and unreasonable Lied to the office and said it was seasonal Sadness Assumed they were all laughing Right then I decided to write it all out On a typewriter Like a ransom note In an old film scene With handsome folk Stiff speech Mono-chromed On the phone perspiring Finger resting on the number they'd dialled in But I'm ex-directory So last century Chapter one Start with the end Chapter two A highlights review Including the lift story At the BBC Paxman and Beckham Thought I was someone special Chapter three Now we've reached the beginning Small time stuff Me and Jean VIPs at nightclubs Chapter four That trip abroad Chapter five My brief time inside Now around this time I got restless Started drinking in town with a book as cover Searching for company Always the last to leave Open mic night Said the poster in the loo For voices Not music Prose and poetry I went for a few weeks And sat at the back Started a writing class Took a job in a caf' It's hard work and often boring But try to listen more and Keep people talking Note their quotes Hush my anecdotes Plucked up the courage To read out my stories They went down well Most think it's fiction Swapped numbers after with Shirley and Norman Got invited to Wednesday jazz lunches Started to feel normal Read a long piece About my presentee father Invented his last words To pull it together Cold water with ice Cleared my throat twice People were nice Clapped Someone said 'bravo' Pats on my shoulder As I shuffle to my chair on the back row Felt happy and sad both And did not want to let 'em go I feel like an oddball But not that I'm phoney They call me Kenneth And I don't correct them They call me Kenneth And I don't correct them I'm just just trying to listen To write it as fiction To try and admit when I'm getting too distant And I need to reset I wake in a cold sweat I'll just keep it simple And honest
