REINVENTION



Reinventing
another’s life,
reinventing
their landscape,
you live a profound lie.
Fat
on gorging
on a history
not your own,
on music
which comes
from a river you weren’t born by,
you are a thief,
a stealer
of dreams
not yours.

Learn
about yourself,
your heart,
before you tell
the tales of others,
before you take over
and buy
into a culture
and landscape
you can never
really
understand.
