From nine thousand and something,
Given the conventional
Use of the phrase denoting
The sum of diversity
As all the ten thousand things.
It makes a nice target, though.
Could you write ten thousand things
You’d have the cheek to call poems?
What would you do after that?
Retire? One problem with life,
One among ten thousand things,
Is that there’s no stopping point,
Only death in retrospect.
To write means to keep writing.
