Dicit Quis

-What is a flower if it doesn’t catch  your eye the first time you set eyes on it .
Says the dreamer in him .
-What is love if you don’t pursue it ?
Asks the soldier in him .
-If I say I love you , would it become the truth ? 
Asks  the little man in him.
-Because I never say what I don’t feel .
Says the delusional liar in him .
-What is love if it requires too much effort ?
Asks the quitter in him .
-What is a flower if it is not perfect?
Says the child in him .
Then he goes and picks up an eyeless weed .
