Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

You May Ask Yourself

image: Uzengia Aleksander Nedic
Did you ever wake up and think
"Where am I?"
Not "Where am I?" but
"Where am I?"
It's an entirely different question 
profoundly more difficult
to answer
because
the one doing the seeking
IS 
the one being sought
(or perhaps not)
It is therefore understandable
why those who find themselves
(that is, lose themselves)
in such circumstances
often may consider it easier
to just go back to
sleep.
