Why must we prove ourselves wrong
again and again;
Answer ancient questions,
break records
break silences—
Prove the legends wrong...
The answers we have known forever,
changed when you blink . .

Why not let the sleeping legends lie?
Dust from forgotten civilizations,
Always there, invisible, coating
our hands and eyes when we blink,
coating our faces when we smile. . .

The unanswered questions;
unchanged forever,
dreams and fire and sunsets,
Forever, gone, now.
