6.8 billion

i pride myself on my
steadfast commitment to
always observe the outward display of
the earth's rotation.

the illuminated sky
never fails to remind me
just how

small

[i really am] we really are.

i think of my fellow wo[man].

the person down the street
whose name i don't even know.
the billions of people who will be born and die
and will never know i existed.
