Some Poems

 
There are some poems
That must be written
Year after year
Generation after generation.

“I am complete
Now that you love me.”
“I am broken
Now that you don’t.”

“I am twelve and just want to die.”
“I am ninety and just want to live.”

“This love will last forever.”
“But now I can never love again.”

These poems
Have been written
In every place,
In every time,
In every language,
Where poetry is written,
Which is everywhere
Humans live.

These poems
Will be rewritten
Again and again,
Each author believing
That it is the first time
They have been written
Until the last human brain
Is eaten by zombies.
