Question 69
Question 69 is simply a suggestion
Danger is around the unseen corner
Stay here where trees rest on branches bent
By wind safe on the leaf with secret ignorance
Turn left to make the better best
Go down the road where it might curve
You do not want to know what waits beyond that twist
And turn untold
Unknowns are the inhabitants of speculation
It is suggested to remain in one place at a time
As an appendage on the landscape fixed
Attached to it we learn to roam no more
Complacent, stagnant, alone, done in a word
Moving to the left could prove fatal, even worse
Lets guess what's on the other side instead
Stay here safe and warm at rest
Please don't tell me. Let me guess
Is it question 69 again
Let me inquire as a friend
Simply a suggestion
