Biography meanders its way
Through the geography
Of the life well lived
And through the topography
Of the life lived behind closed doors
Biography lives on metaphors
Biography highlights the landmarks
And the hallmarks
Even the trademarks
That brought that fame
Leaving out the drawbacks
That brought that shame
Biography adds to the paradox
Biography is biography
Auto-piloted or not
Biography is biography
Piloted through a stenographer or not
Oh the biographer’s euphemism
The stenographer’s sarcasm
Biography lives on
Long after the biographer expires in transition
Biography speaks on
Long after the stenographer retires the alliteration
Biography lives on
Long after the biological demise
Biography leans on poetry
So long after the comedy ends in a tragedy
