When all is said and done,
a page or two
documents
the writer's gratitude.
Some readers skip this page,
unimportant, not part
of the story
that was bought.
It is technical or wordy
or saccharine or
effusive
or irrelevant.
It stitches the story
with invisible thread,
containing only something
that the author would see,
making visible a few words
to stand for the back
story that will never be
told.
