The world is a plurality,
 The stories many, varied;
 But we are busy people, anxious,
 Put upon and harried --

 And so we simplify our lives
 By screening our own show;
 We do not see the pictures, we
 Replace with what we know,

 As though our lives are every life,
 And we, the peak, the summit --
 That story we apply to life,
 Instead of learning

 From it
