On The Strength of All Conviction and the Stamina of Love ( Jennifer Michael Hecht)

Sometimes I think
we could have gone on.
All of us. Trying. Forever.

But they didn’t fill
the deserts with pyramids.
They just built some. Some.

They’re not still put there,
building them now. Everyone,
everywhere, gets up, and goes home.

Yet we must not
Diabolize time. Right?
We must not curse the passage of time.
