Eight Questions
Will there ever come a time
when time doesn’t matter
Will there ever come a date
when the days won’t connect
Will there ever come a phrase
its words devoid of meaning
Will there ever come a song
whose melody won’t play
Have you let what you celebrate
turn into celebrity
Has your message been transformed
into a billboard or sign
Have you become a caricature
of a free and lasting symbol
Have your words become mere chatter
—in your pandering for fame
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
