What did you bring to the world?

What did you bring to the world?

What will you take away? It’s all just a two-day fair.

You don’t have many days to stay, traveler.

And you still take pride in false identities

—riches, youth, and appearance.

You came with closed fists;

you will have to open them when you leave.

It’s all just a two-day fair.
