I  KEPT  ASKING 


I asked song - what are you about 
and it answered, “Tears.”

I asked drums - what are you about 
and it answered, “Heart beat.”

I asked hands - what are you about 
and it answered, “Reaching out.”

I asked feet - what are you about 
and it answered, “Meeting you.”

I asked money - what are you about 
and it answered, “Simplifying.”

I asked walls - what are you about 
and it answered, “Fear!”

I asked the body - what are you about 
and it answered, “Communion.”

I asked the blood - what are you about 
and it answered, “Sacrifice.”

I asked bread - what are you about 
and it answered, “Hunger!”

I asked wine - what are you about 
and it answered, “Thirst!”
