THE SCULPTURE

Like a museum

piece on display,

I went round

and round it

not knowing

I was doing so.

I was simply

living like

I always do—and

talking

to the people

in my life. Their

speaking fashioned it

a form, gave it

shape, size, and heft, 
and put it

on a pedestal.

It took so many

to make it,

the lie.
