Challenge
What is your deepest flaw or worst quality?
Define it in any way you wish.
Wanting Answers to the Unanswerable
Forgive my prattles, but I have questions,
Questions which prod for days like gnats
Remaining unanswered in satisfactory,
For even if the answer is grim, I’d rather
Rather have an acrid dish of fermented fish skin
Than to drive circles in the ground.
And forgive my credulity and haste
For a fault I’ve succumbed to
Is trading dignity for any answer,
As long as it’s a confident guru
And claims freedom, a place which can’t be known.
Let me then be, if none have answered,
A satisfactory delight dipped in flowery water;
[words] which settle nicely like a sauté
After the sauce and spices added.
Now, is it wrong to wish truth delivered to my doorstep?
