The truth about fables
by Peter A. Tsirozidis

Directors can't find
the right actors for the part
artists detest
the way the models pose
even Beethoven complains
of not being able to hear well
the hare has proudly decided
that the race
is much too easy for it
and
the tortoise
has been carrying that heavy load
all its life,not exactly proud
but patient
looking for the moment to get the glory
at the finish line
not knowing that it's a story,
a set-up.
