a piece of the statue

why do i feel better
after i write a poem

because i'm contributing
to my body of work

why do i feel better
after i contribute to
my body of work

because i'm making a
monument to myself
a statue
for the future

to show that i
existed
to show that i
lived
and that that
existence and life
was
important.
