A page and a half is best
Two, just about it
Three and over, is stretching it a bit
Four or more and you're assured
no one is gonna read it
Concise at the cost of
dreams giving way to destinations
hobbies making room for honours
Age counted in the number of years
facts valued over unwritten poems
After all it's only a résumé
Not a page from your biography
that won't be written
Not who you are
but who you'd rather be, if that
For all else,
there are diaries still
that'll not see the light of the day
Or headstones that'll adorn your grave
for years to come
lying
dead or unlived.
