Psalm 82:3


a red plastic box

sits unclaimed on my classroom shelf

the label on the front is fading

‘sebastian’ scrawled indelicately in black sharpie across it

there’s not a sebastian in this class

nor in any other class in this school

none of the

students

or staff

or teachers

remember him

an unknown little boy

whose existence is proved only by

the flimsy plastic box that bears his name

fleeting is inevitable

will what i leave behind bear my name well?
