CERAMIC OR BUST

Eyes slanted downwards
In deep; still reflection
For fear she’d BUST the bubble
Of history surrounding her.
Heads of philosophical greats
Sculpted in stoic; ceramic silence
Set atop a concrete perch
Searching for a little of their
Wisdom & insight
Gravitas & dignity
Perhaps to carve out
Her own unique place
In the annals of time
An intellectual giant
In her own right.
Then someday
Someone
Might carve out a sculpture
Of her
To gaze silently upon passers-by
And to be gazed at in return
In hushed; reverential
And inquisitive tones
