Existential Questions
“Let’s have a show of hands now
Who’s voting for McFeely for dog-catcher?”
“And, guess what, Marvin is here with us tonight. Wow!
Let’s put our hands together for the next neighborhood dog-catcher himself
~ Marvelous Marvin McFeely
Backstage I reflect… If there’s a ‘show of hands’
Shouldn’t it involve seeing both the palms and the back of the hands?
And if we 'put our hands together' for someone
Aren't our hands stuck together
Do we need help pulling them apart?
The iceberg of language-melt yet sends shivers down my spine
