What Is One Life? Poem by Glen Kappy

What Is One Life?



I have wondered
what is one life
among billions?

Any life—
for one famous here
remains unknown
to throngs across the oceans
who struggle
for their daily bread.

But then this morning
shortly after dawn
I saw in my driveway
the longest shadow
from a single leaf
fallen and yellowed.
