On the Slippery Nature of Truth

I tell stories

Funny how they all reflect
The past with
Such a rosy glow

The bout concludes and
Straight away the
Spin
Begins

However much I
Think I want to understand
Exactly what occurred
And where
I erred

My well-constructed buffers
Intervene
Egoistic airbags
Pad my pride
Preserve my
Self-regard
En garde

Maybe if I rush to
Publication
Pause while soaked and half disrobed
To
Spill the beans
By tweet or text or post
--Debrief 2.0--
I’ll accidently leak the
Inside scoop
Straight poop

Tomorrow I’ll reread my own early edition
A true front line account sans error or omission
