The Editor 
By Karen Mooney

That place on the tool bar of life
where you cut and paste times together
Create your own story, adjusting
around the margins, delete even.

Although it’s all retained in a memory somewhere
You can be bold, make yourself look bigger
underscore everything or just style yourself
a little differently to catch attention.
