On My History Teacher Telling Us to Analyze Alexander the Great.
November 24, 2012
But you can't simply
break Alexander into parts
People aren't that simple
We are not subcategories
or sections
We are amber explosions,
hushed laughter under the stars,
the last sharp intake of breath
before being submerged,
the flickering moments
before a firefly dies,
salt from tears and
hidden sorrows.
We are many things,
but the one thing we're not
is ourselves.
