Unquestioned
Can imagination be taught,
or intuition defined
Can wishes be repackaged
as hope
Can children rekindle
a dream never fired
Can the past and future
reverse
Can what is and what isn’t,
forever be
Can a savior fall victim
to faith
Can tomorrow choose the past
over today
Can the reasoned excuse
die from intent
Can the moment once noted,
forever last
Can there be language
with vision denied
Can the wisdom of sages,
in playpens be found
Can the answers unquestion
—themselves
(University Of Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
