There are things you have to do
Shovels full of dirt at a time
Step by step
Word by word
You can do them with company
But you do them alone
They are not bloodless tasks
They are not painless
They don’t come naturally
They don’t come from divine inspiration
They are the thick it
The rest of the story
The time in between
When we are heroes
or villains
You have done these tasks
Some of you
Are doing them right now
And yet
I don’t know it
I never will
But I understand
Because all our lives
Are held together with
Mortar
As well as
Marble
