I took a picture
Of a mountain today
I don’t know why
To capture permanently
Light rendered
Off converged rock
To share socially
Document something
Get likes, impress, hype myself up
Or maybe because
Everybody else was
And looking was pressured; timed
“Can you get the whole mountain, please?”
“Try one the other way.”
“Ew, the angle—get another shot.”
What does this mountain mean to me?
Will it ever mean anything to me?
…Is this even for me?
I don’t know why
I took a picture
Of a mountain today
But I guess I’ll leave it
Maybe one day I’ll remember
That at the very least
…I was here.
