Funny how we all try to leave
our individual marks on the world,
in the memories of those who stay
behind, and those who'll come after.
Collectively, we are leaving marks
which can’t be erased, and which will
obviate all others. I wonder how long
that will take? We see the vast stretch
of past and future, as if that is what
we inhabit; but really, each of us has
only a brief span, and won’t, can’t know
what will come next, nor how long
before none are left to remember.
