People do not ask questions so much, anymore.

People do not ask questions,
They make assumptions,
And assume that you will correct them
When they are wrong.
But
If you were wrong
From the moment that you began assuming,
Why bother
To treat the symptoms
Of what is
A root cause?

“Do not argue with a fool, from a distance no one can tell the difference…” - Chinese proverb

People are like books
Environment and experience are the pen,
our memories provide the paper,
and their blood, sweat, and tears constitute the ink.

People are like books,
and they are just begging,
and sometimes demanding,
for someone to read them.
Only the incredibly brave
or incredibly stupid
dare be illiterate
in this day-and-age

But then -
“fools rush in where angels fear to tread" - Alexander Pope An Essay on Criticism, 1709

If “Up” is a direction,
But also a state of being
And “Down” is a direction,
But also a state of being
And the shortest distance
Between two points
Is a -straight- line
…
I would go
-straight-
Through the trials
That assault me
-KB

There is “right”
There is “wrong”
And there is all that is left
…
I fear that I have taken
Too many lefts
To make my way “right”
-KB

If "escapism"
will get you nowhere
Is it not an exercise in futility?

But, if by "exercise", it is aptly named
is it not worth something, still??

-------------------------------------------------

my "futility" is in well exercised

"I'm sorry" is such an empty statement
devoid of true sentiment
It is an admission to falling short.
Of failure.
It is a gesture of defeat.
Now,
tell me -how- you are going to change

...be careful, or you may have to find me
once you "get around" to it...

She listens very well
at certain times of the day
But talks,
nearly not at all.
I do not need a "relationship"
for "listen" to "hear"
Amistad (Friendship) is a much simpler "ship"
that will arrive
at the same destination
The older I get,
the more

--- I am attracted to simplicity ---

...perhaps simplicity
should be in my relation's ship

If-
the answer,
to the question
is

-=silence=-

...perhaps the question,
is better asked silently

----------------------------

If-
the question
is -not- asked silently,
sometimes

-=silence=-

is the worst answer to give
