End Notes

 

The end of a story

is also a story: ENDS

 

I'm sure it's been written

 

It doesn't have to be anything fateful,

like lives ending up as corpses,

no;

it could be a Cagean wit;

a flow of last words of sentences,

collected from newspaper stories

or plaints;

the motto being:

Let's start from the end!”

or "This could be the end of something!"

 

Of course, it may also, boringly,

be the method of a self help book,

realizing that it takes and end

for a beginning to begin

- as been said and encouraged in a song:

 

Let's begin the beguin”,

 

or in the title of a book by David Deutsch:

The Beginning of Infinity”

 

- but what I had in mind

was a series of end notes,

or at least one such, as this (”this”)

 

These thoughts end

in the mixed sounds

of an old typewriter

and a million drizzle fingertips

lightly tapping the windows
