Legacy

What is a Legacy

What's the equation that leads to the sum that is

A

Human

Life

The curtain draws as it must and

when it's done...

We spill out of this "Life" a grocery bag of idiosyncrasies, neuroses, hypocrisies, and other I-sees

What are we in the end but broken pieces of a puzzle we leave for others to assemble--who cares if the pieces fit.

Someone found a Kind word here

Another a Generosity

A memory of a Lie

Proof of a Cruelty

Acts of Humanity by a human being acting...

Who knows me well enough to define my Legacy?

Who else but "I"

Notes

I like spoken word poetry (a lot) and this poem works best if it's read in that type of tone.
