Inordinate Questions

I'm sorry
if my glad questions
make you feel sad
bad 
blue.

But that
is not my intent
I assure you.

Given zero opportunity,
then zero risk

Perhaps I would 
not be too intrusive
to ask if we might risk
speaking together.

What do we want
together
and/or apart?

Then let's do that
together
and/or apart.

Then let us speak
and vote
and invest together again
to ask
How best regain cooperation
balance
peace?

Now what do we want
together
and/or WinWin apart?

Then let's do that...
