Legos

i’m made of legos;
you can tear me down
piece by piece
until i’ve built myself back up again.



Spoiler! :
Uhhhh no, I did not just spend ten minutes researching if I could legally use the word "legos" in this poem. What are you talking about?

The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.
