No doubt "If" is the biggest question. but "But" will always be the biggest question mark, even "If" it's the last call.. :) Great poem, Kai

Thank you Charles. I love in Spain now and in the Spanish language, they even put an extra question mark in front of the question. Kind wishes, Kai

Lots of ifs and buts abound in life and within the pages of this consomme; we're all going through a death of sorts, are we not? Transformation; is this not the process of a writer as well? Food for thought. The collective humanity, is dysfunctional.
