from Paideia

When I am gone and exist only in my poems,
my line shall celebrate my days,
insisting that my acts were brave as any man's,
that my thoughts were complex as another's,
my loves as desperate, as intense.
Adroit, self-confident, and sly,
my poems are my children.
They know how to lie.

– George Bradley (1996)
