26 .doc files
combing their hair
stealing each other's
mascara
getting bitchy

26 files
open
crossing their legs
flashing words
spun around a fork

26 files
tangled
confused
mistaken
for each other

26 sisters
by labor
but
not blood

26 prom dates
waiting
for the same limousine

26 letters
returned to
the potential alphabet

26 poems
each
incomplete

each
nearly there
but not quite

each
like a person
like that.

each file
like life

not so much knowing where to start,
but beginning at all.

the tragedy is that life is never completed,
only finished.

like any poem
or song
painting
photo
sketch
statue
arch
model train--

i could have done more.

27
now.
