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?
