Wonder
I wonder
I wonder about many things
I wonder what it takes to
Eat the brains of some animal
I wonder what it takes to
Be with a man
I wonder what it takes to
Be human and to actually
Like it
I wonder
I wonder why I am the way that I am.
I wonder why I like to drink…
But hate to hang over.
I wonder why I hate my job
But I wonder why I love computers
And programming
I wonder why I am who I say I am
I wonder why you are
Who
You
Say
You are.
I like to write the poem…
I like to write the essay….
I like to write, and write, and write…
Until it pisses someone off.
I wonder,
I wonder why I am who I am and why you are
Who you are….
I wonder why I
No longer play the guitar
I wonder why
I no longer play
Tennis…
I wonder why
I have little imagination left
I wonder why
I got married and why
I want children.
I wonder why
I’ve taken to drawing scribbles in notebooks
In sketch books
In my tiny head
I wonder why
There are so many stars
In a galaxy
I wonder…
How many of those stars
Have planets
I wonder…
How many of those planets
Have life
I wonder why I wonder so much
And I wonder why I decide
To drink whiskey
And rum
On a school night.
