Don't worry they say
you are no longer needed
to continue the story.
The story is the story has ended.

All eyes are free to see
the phases of the moon
now the moon is grey
and so is the sky.

You're no longer required or allowed
to relate hair-raising detail.
No longer able or entitled
to pass on a grain of unencrypted truth.

You'll get to know your limits
inside a room that will outlive you.
In the meantime pursue any project
that stays within these walls.
