Impatient on a Monument

Tell me what you
elevate
commemorate
memorialize
and I will show you
your examples
your values
your character
for these monuments
are not mere
milestones
idly marking a path
with just
a number along the way:
a concrete literal fact--
but the time it took to
render the hairs on
a horse's ass
as lovingly as
you tend to your own face.
