only recording the memories you want
drawing whatever's interesting.
unlike life, you can easily cover up mistakes,
take more than one mulligan,
and re-do an entire page
as many times as you want.
sketchbooks can be secret
and you can have more than one
but maybe we'd make more mistakes
in life if we knew we could
easily paste a pretty picture on top.
and isn't that what we do anyway?
no one sees the work behind the pretty facade,
though they may know it's there
(ink bleeds through pages)
maybe life is like a sketchbook
in that people can only see
what we let them
