A Room Stacked with Newspaper
You tell me your memory is a room stacked with newspaper.
Sometimes you enter, swipe dust off the stacks, turn the brown pages.
Some you never looked at. You left us those and they are silent.

The trolls continue to deflect from this discovery.
And so it goes.
There is no "discovery," Donkey.
1) George claimed that NancyGene wrote doggerel.
2) I pointed out a line in her (then) most recent poem that showed how
big a dunce George truly is.
3) Rather than admit that NancyGene is a talented poet, George scoured
the Internet and consulted "a trusted source" (AI) to find a similar
line of poetry.
4) AI turned up a poem by Robert Creeley... which turned out to have
never existed.
5) Rather than admit that he was wrong, George then searched the
Internet again, and turned up an obscure poem by Saulitis. The line
shares some of the same imagery as NancyGene's, but it's meaning is even
more obscure than the poem it appears in.
While all of this shows that George Dance is a bitter, petty (very
petty), childish dunce who is insanely jealous of NancyGene, one can
hardly call it a "discovery" -- we've all known that for quite some
time.
