Questions

Imagine if God were a Magic 8 Ball
You could ask anything
Provided it’s a yes or no question
The answer could be vague
Or not to your satisfaction
Still
It’d be nice to get some answers
If only I could figure out
How to pose the questions
I’m chock full
Yet lost to verbalize them
And none of them are Yes/No
Why is beauty so important to us, to me?
Who created units of time
And how did we become enslaved to them?
What do I need to do
To cut through all pretenses
And experience what matters most?
Where are you?
(Please don’t tell me everywhere
I want to *see* you!)
Last but heaviest on my mind
When will all this madness end?
Too many questions
None of them Yes/No
Still
It’d be nice to get some answers
Even if to someone else’s questions

You know things are bad
When you consult the Magic 8 Ball for advice.
Even worse when your 8 ball is an asshole like mine.
See for yourself:
Will I quit my job?
– Definitely not
Will I ever make a living from art?
– Outlook not good
Will I ever sell a piece?
– Don’t count on it
Am I wasting my time?
– As I see it, yes
Is my art even any good?
– It could be seen as yes
Are you a #$^&*@%?
– Better not tell you now
I rest my case.
However, it’s not all bad.
When I asked if I was going to be ok
It replied YES.
