HOLY MOLY! END FIRST KISS Part 11, ACCIDENTALLY DELETED, HAS SOMEHOW REAPPEARED!

And here it is—
END FIRST KISS Part 11, which
Evidently, had not been deleted as
I’d thought, several weeks back, because
It has reappeared in drafts in such
A timely fashion that I could barely
Believe my own eyes!
So, okay, here goes— 


As time goes by
Facts may jumble up inside our heads like
Jelly beans on a trampoline
And once facts have leaped from
Here to there, guess what layers up?
Mythology, and once
Mythology makes mincemeat of facts
Few may recall how much
The truth matters to peace of mind for
One and all

Paraphrasing Wikipedia:
Sullivan’s Show of Shows
Was    the first show that
Televised The King on national TV

Whoops!  Glancing back at
The previous statement
One word is missing, which
In its absence, transforms
Truth into fiction—so
Before moving forward
Let’s each take a moment to plug that
Missing puzzle piece into its
Proper place so as NOT to associate
Ourselves with those accused of
Confusing truth with myth
Ah!  That feels better!

Quoting Wikipedia:
“Elvis mythology states that Sullivan censored Presley by only shooting him from the waist up. Sullivan may have (inadvertently) helped create the myth when he told TV Guide, ‘as for his gyrations, the whole thing can be controlled with camera shots.’ In truth Presley's whole body was shown in the first and second shows.”

While considering the statement directly above
I came to see that, eventually
My brain sure did fool me!
Though I’d watched Elvis perform on Ed’s
Show of Shows with my own eyes
Over time, my memory
Bought into the myth, which stated that
TV cameras had been focused above his waist

And thus have I just illustrated
Two sound reasons to suggest why
Your intuitive inner spy may be
As inclined as mine to feel need to
Dive into the deep end of your mind from
Time to time so as to spotlight
Missing puzzle pieces, which
Upon being released from subconscious
Storage, may fare thee well upon being
Plugged back into the true story of
Your life so as to expand the bigger picture of
Your self image in ways that naturally
Brighten a portion of your self worth, which
Had darkened when you were too young to
Think clearly and objectively for
Yourself about yourself

Upon reflecting over today’s
Train of thought
We can see how easily
Fact transforms into fiction with
The elimination of
One ‘not’ so insignificant word

At this point, if you might like to state that
Neither of those mythological beliefs
Matter, today; I’d agree with this caveat—
What does matter as time marches on is
The attitude that we choose to employ upon
Becoming aware of the FACT that
Our best character traits are being
Slandered by a person within our circle of
Family and friends whose narrow minded
Egocentric (subconscious) focus has
Perceived that he or she has something to gain
By turning a blind eye to participating in
Gossip that causes us pain
Just ask Simba—he knows of what I speak

The fact that my finest character traits
Had been slandered by a person, whom
I’d been unaware was my frenemy
Aroused my adult defense system to stimulate
My self respect to grow so hot as to
Meltdown a portion of my wall of denial, thus
Jumpstarting the development of
The self assertive portion of my voice, which 
Had retreated ever more deeply into
A subconsciously submissive state of
Arrested development when a series of
Traumatic experiences had served to flatline
My spirit’s independent ‘sense of self’
Beginning at the highly vulnerable age of three ...
