38.

As a merry, can-do “poet,” I mean well. I mean to tell my story.

I mean to tell my story well. My story is the story of.

My story is the story of how I got to be who I am.

A story can be desultory, predatory, or exculpatory.

As for me, my story is my history. Such is my repertory.

My history is historical, hysterical, and histrionic. Such is my inventory.

My history takes place in language. Or is it my story takes place in language.

If my story is my history then my history takes place in language. Or does it take plunge.

My language is your language. Please come in. Take the plunge.

My history has a depository of body tissue in it. Body tissue is studied under the Greek weaving term histos.

As a merry, can-do “poet,” I am a weaver of my history. I am a we.

My history is woven of woe. If woe is its weft then whoa is its warp. It wafts on pulmonary plumage.

It has a fool, ein Tor, who minds the store. He talks torrentially but soundly. He suffers an operation and turns into a gate.

Either the gate to the repository, which is in the lavatory, or the gate to the observatory, which is two flights down.
