MICHAEL
(from The Men We Were Meant To Be)
One night,
while sick and alone,
he thought:
“This can’t be right.
I’m not the someone
who gets caught
in laziness’ sight,
scrolling down the phone.
What a shameful spot.”
So he got up,
in front of the cracked mirror,
to chisel the sculpture up.
His body saying stop,
his mind saying not.
