What sets a story apart
To be remembered?
The characters?
The teller?
The story itself?
The moment it's told?
The audience?
Each element would play its part
So how does one try to predict
What story to tell?
Or is it simpler than that
Are we simply made up of many stories
And so we simply respond
To stories?
But that answers why we listen
Rather than how we find favourites--
Perhaps the words of another are true--
"Stories find us when we need them"
