nobody wants to be forgotten. <br />nobody wants to die when dead. <br /> <br />an artist is just a bit braver: they leave little snapshots <br />of themselves <br />for the future to find. <br /> <br />like when we used to write/draw silly things <br />in the margins and inside covers <br />of our textbooks. <br />timecapsules for the upcomingclassmen. <br /> <br />one’s feeble attempts to ensure an afterlife. <br /> <br />a kind of makeshift immortality. <br /> <br />everybody here does it. <br /> <br />sign and date it. <br /> <br />I was here. <br />------> X<br /><br />Jackson Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/timecapsules/
