How should I recite my life? Was it a full sentence or was it parted in two? Did it entail big words or meaningless clichés shouting carpe diem? Did it have depth or did length bare it out? Did it trip on punctuations or did it flow painlessly? Which parts lingered on tongues? What orders did it give? Did it fade among greater paragraphs or was it magnificent? How should I recite my life? Should I clothe it in borrowed metaphors or should I simply read it out loud, word by word, stress the culminations, the loud parts, give extra sound to the little words? Was it a meaningful sentence? Will it linger on and get carried in the mouths of men? Will it serve as a citation for great living; or will it simply be forgotten as the sentence ends, the last syllable is whispered and the full stop is finally engraved.
