Storytelling - Along The Line Of Life

One man’s life
Told as the story of a river
An unfolding continuum of one-page sketches
One for each year of his life
But beginning in mid-life
The story is told backwards and forwards

One man’s life
Lets me settle
Into one man’s life
Then the postman knocks on the door
To deliver the story
Of another man’s life
Homeless, with mental issues

One man’s life
This man
In care
Except that, yes
It could all disappear
In a line on a page
Or thanks to a disadvantaged mother
