With Our Own Hands

       
     After reading Kazim Ali’s poem “Drone”

Maybe we see everything from a distance now.
Like the drones we build, 
We view life from twenty thousand feet,
Separate ourselves from the pain —
Autonomous capability.

Do we eventually become what we make?
If we make poems, do we become the words
Or the single letters from which they’re formed,
Or the thought just before our pencils land?
Be careful what you make.
