THE EVIDENCE

Look at it.

From every angle.

Get incisively close.

The story will come

from this place,

from the exacerbating details

you may find

yourself fetishizing.

Whatever story you arrive at

will be your version of

how to manage mystery,

the who-done-it

of what happened,

your version of trying

to uncover the proof

of truth within a world

of uncertainty.

You might say, story

is just a convenient way

to avoid too much ambiguity.
