We all had stories to tell,
tales,
anecdotes,
things we believed were more interesting than they likely were,
But maybe we were all just boring,
or more boring than the next person,
after all,
relevance is relative,
and I know that is itself not newsworthy,
and while we sit here near our campfires,
and our bonfires of our vanity,
we look around at each other,
but this is not the Algonquin Round Table,
where everyone was more interesting than the next,
few things would ever,
could ever be that, again,
It was a joke,
none of them took themselves too seriously,
which is maybe our problem,
or maybe it was just that we got vicious,
and we took the wrong things seriously,
and he was making it right again,
somehow,
or at least making the effort
yes,
surely, that was it---
