The Question

The Question

A Poem by Miles

I have a question
For all the damned
As soon as I finish this meatball

No
It's definitely an eyeball
I could see the moon shining in it

Take a seat
This isn't a one-liner
If you're still standing, that is

And
Do not assume that I would assume
That you would assume that damnation is possible

What I mean
In a sense
Is
When I say "damned"
I'm saying,
"Things are not going how you'd be contently satisfied with"

But that's completely beside the point
What I'm trying to figure out
Is what's in front of and behind the point
Which is, unfortunately, unheard of

If I was only wearing a hat...
That way 
I'd be able to tip it to this anomaly

Which could or could not be served 
With Extra Virgin Olive Oil, on the rocks

Now,
If I did have a question
I wouldn't've asked you to sit down
I would've asked you to sit up
Because you need to open your eyes
And your mind
And your nose
And forget about your ears for once

Am I the only one
Who feels
That we are wasting 
A huge amount of time?

I hope so
Because I wouldn't want my boss to know
Or my teachers
Or my parents

This is something that shouldn't be ignored
This is something that should be honored

Because one day
You will look back 
And wonder:
"How much more time
Could I have wasted?"
