why didn't you do more?


why didn't you do more?
moses seenarine, april 21, 2014

child
when you are a bit more grown
you may ask, angrily
"why didn't you do more?"

not work or earn more
buy, sell or monetize more

not rhyme or dance more
party, socialize or aggrandize more

not paint or stage more
sculpt, write or imagine more

not exercise or climb more
ride, glide or surf more

not meditate or manifest more
intentioned, received or actualized more

not analyzed or intersectionalized more
deconstruct, contextualize or decolonize more

no child
you will ask none of these things

on an intolerably hot day
not too long from now
you may simply ask
"why didn't you do more?"
