On creating believable characters in fiction
Approximations
Amalgamations
Appeals to
Senses
          when something's wrong
A little bit of our mothers
And some of our best friends
Your spouses are there (in part)
                      But not so much
As the ones you wanted close but

Forgot about
                  but will
read about

No secret codes just
Cut through the bullshit
That is easy to believe
And isolate the good shit
That is easy to read
