Hi my name is And you? Who cares? When all I crave And hopefully all you demand, Is to see In the entirety of form In the impassivity of action In the passion of voice In the frustration in a red-faced Tantrum An explosion of natural curiosity Explain to me what you believe And why you no longer believe What you did just a second ago Show me the change In your skeptical ways And cynical tendencies Tell me why I’m wrong And then allow me the privilege Of debate and dispute Truth cannot be absolute In a sea of change On a planet of alleged falsities So I ask, what could be ultimate truth When right and wrong can be compromised As long as “desperation” is declared In a place of time That will change as swiftly as the breeze My existence is questionable So is his, so is hers So is yours And too seldom certain Though arrogance of truth Confidence in persona Stagnant sense of self and surrounding Make for a fantastic façade Yet, despite this pretense, Veneer, or masquerade, Depending on your taste, One anomaly remains. The inherent spirit of inquiry Cannot be smothered nor veiled. Thus curiosity remains Within you Within me

To know you
