this will never be

this will never be

just like the inappropriate
use of words of infinite natures
from the mounts of finite
and mortal beings

you say forever
but you know
you mean years
if that much at all

you say what we've done
is bigger than us
but once we're dust
they'll be at best a few foot notes

all these memories
all these desires
all these steps
the product of cells
already heading out the door

this is what drives us mad
this is what drives us religious
this is what drives us
to try
to believe
or create

or to mow over the world

hoping
to leave

leave a mark

a scar
big enough to be
forever
