Don’t leave me here,

alone to answer:

What is the shape

that all shapes pass through?

What is the sound

that says all sighs?

What is the sight

when salivation is

from looking within?

Why is empathy

hooked on the phonics

of sufferings’ truth?

What is to be made

from the proof of being

either lost or found?

Is having more money

a grander scale

of the same lessons

stretched further over time?

Where exactly does one

actually get off

on anything?

How does any question

seduce towards an answer?

What is the quality

of self-permission

that makes a next moment rich?

What is so self selective

about being,

that doing anything

is a compromise?

What if pain

Was a regulatory system

rather than just an alert?

How is it that we share air

but guard our possessions?

How can you make the most

of something

and not be self-conscious

about it?

What is it essentially

that ever starts

or ends a mood?

And can the experience

of rapture

ever be required?

Am I alone to answer?
