what will i do
when there are
so many i’m
already forgetting
most all of them
is it better to
blend in and be
forgotten than
to be small and
shine for a moment
you can’t pour water into them
you can’t sweep the floor with them
i’ll ask myself
what’s better
a look back
a sidelong glance
or eyes fixed forward
you can’t pour water into them
you can’t sweep the floor with them
