on the historical accuracy of your biopic
As much as you try to forget me
Burning letters, pictures,
Turning the common ground of our memories
Into scorched earth
You just can't erase me from your past
Have no doubt, princess
I'll be the stain you can't get rid of
Researchers, historians -- they will find me
I may not become a paragraph
Maybe not even a line
But at the very least
I'll be a footnote in your biography
Then it will be a question of time
Just let some lame script writer
In need of flesh, drama
For your otherwise uneventful biopic
And there you have me, handsome as ever
Haunting you on the screen
Seducing you
Being the most good-looking
And biggest mistake you ever made
jonathan rothko (St. Louis, MO, 1975)

There is something wrong about this, and yet it still feels right... bitter satisfaction perhaps? entertaining nevertheless :)
