BACK STORY

Is that one or two words?
Is that a relatively new word?

I don’t remember hearing it

three to five years ago.

Is it like “backstage”? One word….

Is it like “back room”? Two words….

Is it like “backdoor”? One word....

But back to “back story” ….
It’s a good move - to go backstage

or to take the backdoor 
into the back room -

to try to get to

what might be going on

in the back of another’s mind.

Surprise! We might find ourselves

back in the middle of 30,000

conversations - and happenings -

way back before e-mails ever existed.  

Smile!

Please smile on your way out

the back door - with your back stories

in your back pack.

Cute. What’s the back story with all this?
