I am famous To I am famous to my memories of which I only hold. Of summers long ago as perceived far from now. I am famous to the things that never quite seem to really happen but I perceive as memory. I am famous to the dreams because like them, I will never make a fortune. But I dream it every day. I am famous to the things I never did. Because I wasn't there. I am famous to the field where I planted fire I thought would burn the world. I am famous to my fears for me alone do they choose to hunt. I am famous to the ocean Because I was the only little boy who can remember the beach. But has forgotten the horizon. I am famous to our lost innocence which my carefree memories squander. by Dennison Bertram, gr. 10
