The Sentence on the Wall
The Sentence on the Wall by Richard Perez
Write a sentence on the wall
The sentence
The most important sentence of your life
A sentence of meaning
The sentence that you live by
Or rather, you die by
What would you use to write it?
Pencil? Pen? Sharpie? Spray paint?
Would you make it large enough for everyone to see?
Or will it be impossible for anyone to find?
Would you spend extra minutes to make it look aesthetic or artistic?
Will the sentence be easy to understand?
Or will it be an obscure, perplexing puzzle?
What would it be about?
Your hopes, dreams, worries, problems?
Write a sentence on the wall
The sentence
The most important sentence of your life
Chances are it will be about love.
