perhaps they will erect a monument in your name
by Frankie Sanchezor maybe they won't.
perhaps you will live this life,
you will die,
& you will never be mentioned again.
& maybe that is the most sane thing
any one of us,
could ever ask for;
to be left alone.
perhaps it is enough to imagine, that before we die,
we will have one lightningbolt flashbulb moment,
filled to brim with enlightenment,
chalk full of purpose,
abundant with clarity;
& perhaps that will be enough.
