You Can
Whatever you do
Don’t Look Back
There’s a mirror behind you
And it’s black
It’s heavy
And stained with soot
Whatever you do
Look ahead
It’s clear
Well, mostly
But it’s empty of fire
Empty of ash
“But it’s filled with nothing!”
I cry out
Against my narrator
My god
My author
My lonesome companion
Who I do not know
And she replies
That’s right
That’s why
You have strong hands
A muscular back
Made for work
A heart of carbon
Flexible and a conductor
Of energy abound
So build
Whatever the hell
You want
I am not
Your god
