"I" s and "Why"s. Part 2

What if butterflies we are
Keen to love for day or two?
What if shared boats mark
What is old but dwells anew?

What if buttercream we are;
Smoothly beaten creamy milk;
Hermitage for sugar are,
What is sweet and kind, but serene.

Do we fear the phony oaths
Crafting lines at home?
Do we run or do we float?
Are we one or sheer alone?
