"alright,
begin" is it a thing?
is it profound? is it universal? does it have
color? is it an emotion? is it typical
to human beings? am i looking
for it? am i looking
at it? are we all looking
at it sometimes? can i draw it? does that count
as a question? can i hear it? can i experience
it? does it tick? so it's not time? is it now? but was it just
then? and it will it
be later? so it's something
that just happened is it exclusive
to life? is it a place did you say no? is it inspiration? does it have
an opposite? is it life changing
in an ultimate way? once it's done,
it's finished. and it's not now but it was just then and it will be later.
not now, just then and later. is it a process? is it silence? i guess silence
isn't really profound... though it can be. is it the end? |
