curiousity
has always
been one
of my
caveats
you will
not catch
me simply
believing
that being
is a simple
task
for it is
much
simpler
to ask
questions
that carve
this grand
canyon
cavern
of
understanding
that i stand
on
and this
is no
intuitive
matter of fact
i’ve a
lifetime
of living
mathematics
in which
i cast
these
calculations
and upon
dismissing
the
inequalities
and balancing
numbers
on opposite
ends of
the equation
i won’t have
all the answers
but i will
surely
answer with
exactitude
the solutions
i’ve come
to discover
and if you’ve
anything
other
than useful
dialogue
to add
to the sum
total
of my being
this one
simple thing
i ask
put some
challenge
in your
chalice
keep my
curiosity
quickened
by
augmenting
the
originality
of your
argument
and offer
me
something
new
to chew upon
i’ve digested
all the
dogmatism
i can stomach
and found
it to be
nutritionally
narrow
i’m too
curious
to accept
belief
because
i am ever
on the cusp
of clutching
my gut
and casting
forth
another
question
in spite
of how many
cats
are killed
in the process.
