It’s Not About You

Tell them I said something,
Pancho Villa, dying
After being ambushed,

Famously requested,
Which, if true, really was
Something memorable,

It turns out, to have said.
A person wants language
To memorialize

The person, but the words,
The patterns in language
That any person leaves,

Carry on among words,
Succeeding or failing
As themselves, for themselves.
