each tale has endings

each tale has endings that we think are true
but readers make them up and none can say
what each has made of the story they view

such strange things as we speak of could
ensueonly when we demand strong light of day
each tale has endings that we think are true

the captain tells us he can't rule the crew
they've halted work and turned to shades of grey
what each has made of the story they view

compounded discourse gives us questions new
no one it seems can our concerns allay
each tale has endings that we think are true

when rains are over the skies turn clear blue
we now observe as if in a staged play
what each has made of the story they view

the job is done before i've tied my shoe
all things are set out in a strange array
each tale has endings that we think are true
what each has made of the story they view
