One aspect of life -
past... present... future
put up against a question mark
whereupon
you begin to see
the world
as dark avenues leading nowhere...
No answers to any query
will come
(or answers that do not satisfy)
Questions in an examination -
Uncouth wriggling after facts
when all answers
lead, but to confusion
Questions of a life time -
a pretense of fond hopes -
questions not fit to be answered...
(sometimes even to be asked)
Questions staring you in the face
with a gaping hole
in their mouths
that encompasses your world...
And other questions -
oozing blood
when you squeeze out their relevance,
holding the conversation
at a standstill,
providing nothing
but a sense of jealousy
and hate
(the smoke then lingering
in your memory for weeks)
... but hardly - if ever - answered.
