I don’t have anecdotes to tell at parties
I don’t have funny stories about one night stands or crazy nights out in college
Maybe I do but I think you remember them differently than I do
I think mine are seen through a different lens now that they’re over
I have some stories that you aren’t supposed to tell people
The stories that your parents don’t tell your relatives
The stories that are only on the pages of legal documents and psych evals
The stories that line up with prescription records
The stories that are in the results of blood tests
The stories that only are funny when you’re in company that understands you fully and completely
The stories you forget until they are stirred up again
The stories that you didn’t feel the first time so they traumatize you in their catharthis
I have stories, you just don’t want to hear them
No, I don’t want to tell them
But maybe next time
