IF THAN

If there is a place 
where "here" and "there" 
collide, 

what other words 
might have syllables 
in common? 

*

if something is lost 
and then I find it, 

which type of drama
would you now say

is your favorite? 


If the myriad white 
and yellow blossoms,
 
once opened, 
all act as parasols, 

does that mean 
all effort 

is cumulative?

*

if "what" and "how" are two 
dependent variables, 

how do we know 
whether anything 
has 

escaped?

*

if everyone out here 
is "sitting in traffic," 

then there's no such thing as traffic, 

and so—no one 
really is?
