Wondering

-Wondering-

Shush
Whisper
Quiet
Listen
Hear
See
Believe
Each word
Each phrase
Every damn line
Upon themselves
They fall
Crushing me
Leveling you
Leaving us both
Wondering
Reality and truth
The same illusion
What has happened
What will happen
Increasingly matters less
Each day alive
Trying
While dying
Now
Indeed
Without any question
There’s the paradox
What this is all about
What intrigues me
What infuriates you
What compels us all
Every single one
The why
And the how come
That has to be it
Where it lives
Where it resides
Everything important
In one fail swoop
All of my livable life
And probably yours
I’ve wanted to know
So I’ve asked
Unafraid
The answer
Often comes
Like a truck
Straight out
Of the perilous darkness
I know
Well aware
I understand
That it will
Without hesitation
Run me down
But I do not move
Oh God how I refuse
Nor would I ever
Planted are these feet
Routed is my mind
Steep
I hope you can try
For the sake all involved
To thoroughly explore
What will remain
The mess
The stain
Pure carnage
Wondering
Seems quite simple
Innocent really
But the truth
The reality
And dare I say
Eventually
Is that it is
Not so innocent
I can of course
And do
Accept that
What about you
What will you accept
Wondering…
