Counting Descent

by Clint Smith

I didn’t really know what infinity meant, but I had heard my teacher say it once when she talked about the universe & books felt like the universe to me.

it would be nice to be something in a museum one day because that’s what I’ve been told means you’ve lived a meaningful life but I think instead I might like to be in a garden where even after I die the residue of me can help grow something more beautiful than I ever was
