Why I Write These Things Down

I write things
down just in
case somebody
else might need them.

Their crisis might
intersect by chance
with my
words

their moment
searching through
a book with
this page.

They might be
looking
for someone
who's been
there before.

I hope
they find
me

and if
they don't I
can rest easy.

I tried.

I'll be
around
in case they
need me.
