Matchsticks

written by L. Stevens

they say we’re all
snowflakes
trying to shimmer
in our own unique way
when we’re really
just all the
same

cold and damp

and it’s true that
from a distance
we all seem the same
like matchsticks

uniform and nondescript

some of us will merely
spark and sputter
but the rest of us
are going to
burn them
down
