I would say a scribe
has an important job
maybe they look more like
someone who has a good eye
hand coordinate
that registers, and so they
feel compelled, as if it was something
they were born to do.

but still they always worry,
because it is quantity, pure quantity,
by nature,
because quality is not quantifiable
judging by any common day
curve

and yes, that just might mean that
anything goes.

at least mathematically, this is likely
true.

Peace!

Sometimes as you point out, it is a relief to discover that we are not alone or quite as unique as we thought.
Other times it can be a rude awakening to discover that we are not the only wonderful and talented people on the planet after all.

Your poem choses to embrace your counterparts and welcome them as fellow travelers. A good lesson for all of us to consider.
