What if one page
Was larger than the rest?
What if brother really loved best?
What if you could capture the future
Within a breath?
What if magic
Was commonplace?
What if ice were fire
And water, snow?
What if North were South
And Roots bore Fruit?
What if someone challenged everything you think you know?
What if
What if
I want to shout it from the highest sun
I want to mine on every moon
I want to play my song
In a quiet room
Sound escapes
Like Sirius from Azkaban
Released from the Naga Domain
Out into Sunshine and Pouring Rain
Out of Death
And into Heaven’s Door
What if Coffee was drunk at night
And into the next day
What if we all wrote letters in Arabic
And Counted to Twelve
What if the Elves never left?
And what if Scott Stapp got respect
What if
What if
What if Science still made no sense?
Why is it that thumbs are on the left?
Where would Magellan go
If he had a dog named Astro?
How high
Was Bob Marley’s Lowest Low?
What if One Page
Were Longer Than All The Rest?
Would we still Reserve them solely for Playboy’s Best?
It seems to me that periods are far more common than question marks
Yet It takes one to answer the other
Which begs the Question
Where do Questions come from?
Are they fed into our head?
Like some sort of radio wave?
Do they just appear like Saint Nick?
Are they are forceful action
Or just some sort of natural reaction
How many stars have long since burnt out
While they shine bright in our sky?
What do cats see when they look upon a crystal ball?
Are dogs just returning our planet
When we throw that ball their way?
Why do hamsters like to run in circles?
Is a zoom still a zoom if it doesn’t go across the room?
Where is this room in relation to the pyramid of the sun?
When will this poem
Finally be done?
I guess you could say
This Page is just Longer than All the Rest
Kind of like Physical Graffiti for the Digital Age
We are all Satoshin
Especially when dressed to the 9’s
You know
It’s the End of the World as we know it
But I feel fine fine fine
It’s just a dream within a dream
A realistic fantasy
Do you believe
That UFO’s are really from Boston?
Why is it
That Wise isn’t spelled Whyse
And Who’s on First?
The first three bases are for Stooges anyway
Cause there’s no place like home
No place like home
No place like home
What’s the difference between the Grape and a Grapefruit?
Were Oranges names for their color or was the color named for the fruit
Such delicious musings
All in due rind
Irony is an Elton John player piano with The Who as the Scroll
Is this The End?
Or just a prelude to my next poem?
Where I sing the high praise of the Thuggish Ruggish Bone Bone Bone?
Can you imagine Blackbeard sailing the Blackest of Skies?
And drinking pure water straight from Aquarius?
Where does the wind go
When it blows it’s nose into a hankerleaf?
How many sports are there 10,000 leagues beneath the sea?
What happens when a bride named Destiny weds a man named Will Freeman?
How many questions does math contain?
Is it time yet for the recurring refrain?
What if one page
One page
One
