"The questions are the answers I forgot"


Poem Artwork

Setting the Homeless on Fire

Is this the way the homeless have to sleep
Worrying someone might set them on fire
(I read somewhere how this was happening)?

Depressed into celibacy so deep
Existence becomes the only desire
Or not but if not without suffering

Nothing today seems very amusing
In this amusement park I stumbled on
How this was amusing is confusing

But I will remain till all hope has gone
And they close this park tonight after dark
Then more confused than ever stumble on

Who am I? What am I? Why (anyway)?
I might ask yet I might answer and say
That I this human being ask why not

Weary of analyzing everything
I have come to question my questioning:
The questions are the answers I forgot

I adore abandoned things
and I have never seen such a sight
as your photo offers!
It is stunning to me
& prowling with expressionisms
I wish I could join you there
scouting & looking into this...
Amazing offering from your soul Stevie
