Replying to a comment on:
Ode to Larkbeat Twoshoes (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones
It was once a point in time,
But insecurity breeds a need
To re-mythologise one's life.
According to rules built over time,
I can be a person I love -
As mental processes break down
An epiphanic moment must be found,
And I have centred on a moment from my past.
All of us were drunk, I think, at the party,
We called you Vick, because you preferred it
To Vicky, or Victoria.
'I hate my name' you said,
'In that case', James replied
'I'll rename you Larkbeat Twoshoes'
And everything changed
As he uttered these words.
Larkbeat, can you hear me?
What has become of you?
Are you still the girl
That I once knew?
