Poems from One Seven-billionth
A boy began to learn how to mime at age two
His parents bought him a striped shirt
Told him to go make money on the corner of 1st avenue...
There comes a point in time
When your favorite song
Grows old
After listening to it everyday,
2

10
20 times,
It...
Are you alive ?
She asks.
I look at her blankly
Unable to answer.
It seems simple
My heart beats
My lungs rise,
fall.
But I sit here...
As the cars pass me
I can't help but watch the drivers
Wonder where they're going
Where they're coming from
What they're feeling, thinking...
Do we even remember our Earthly lives when we're in heaven?
Unless this is hell.
