Once Upon A Tiime -Any Lines I Wrote Remained Hidden

ONCE UPON A TIME -ANY LINES I WROTE REMAINED HIDDEN

Once upon a time long ago
Any lines I wrote remained hidden-
No one would ever see them
Except in my dream - Posterity.

Now any line I write
Goes out to the world easily-
It will remain there
until the Internet closes it down.

For me inside
It is better that what I write appears-

But whether that appearance means anything really-
I don’t really know.
