If You Have the Answers, I've Got the Questions

Song on my mind - In the Quiet Morning by Joan Baez

1. Has every published poet in the world written a poem titled Lovesong or A Love Song for… ?

2. Has anyone wanted to jump off a terrace simply because it’s the most boring party they’ve ever been to?

3. When the stray dogs finally sleep at night, do all the bikes on the roads do a slow dance on their way home?

4. Does the person you love have to suddenly stop growing and changing in your eyes so much so that you cannot bear to even watch his/her fingernails lengthen by a millimeter?

5. When is it absolutely necessary to remind someone that there really is something called a sense of humour and it is absolutely necessary that he/she use it from time to time?

6. If the book you’ve been dying to read for close to 20 years still acts as a dust magnet somewhere at the back of your bookshelf is it finally time to pawn/give/throw it away?

7. When you’re convinced that the only quick and super fix answer to all of your problems is hypnotism how long before you start telling people around you so that they finally decide it’s time to commit you?

8. If all the fantastic thoughts in your mind cease to be just as good the minute you spew them out, do you just leave them in there so they continue to haunt and tease you every second that you live?

9. When you begin to love the beauty in all the imperfections around you, is it ok to ruin everything perfect you’ve ever laid your eyes on so that they finally start appearing beautiful to you?

10. How do you marry the song that you love and the one you’ve been subconsciously singing, so that in the end your only reason for living would have been the creation of that one exquisite symphony?
