There’s no significance but
existence
(Claimed poet Fernando Pessoa)
Yet to exist I aspire to be
significant
To leave a trail revealing who I
am
With billions of inhabitants and
Evolving artificial intelligence
It’s difficult to become notable
Without thoughts that are unique
Yet manifold replicated DNA
sequences
And stunted environmental diversity
Diminishes the prospect of anyone
Ever claiming dominion over a
mindset
If a clone of myself has been
born
And more yet to be conceived
Why shall I toil to claim significance
And assume a manner of importance
It’s in the isolation of my home
And the splendor of imagination
I am the earth’s greatest writer
As long as not beyond my door
And with the passion and emotion
Shared with those I keep company
I’ve created a world in which I’m
one
Exceptional by the love they’ve
returned
The track to who I’ve become
Courses under a shelter of love
At the end of which are memories
of
A life lived accompanied in
pleasure
