Chop

Every storyteller seems
To have a story about
How they come up with stories,

At least that special story
That has a good origin
Story, to hear them tell it.

Like their front-facing stories,
Their stories about stories
Are mostly well-rehearsed lies,

But before you get going
On about mise en abyme,
Infinite regress, meta

This and auto that, recall
Stories are not nesting dolls,
Really, any more than waves

On waves on a lake mirror
Each other infinitely.
Winds whipping each whip them all.
