WHAT

Curiosity: seed that turns the world into what

we are told by those who were told by still others what’s what: The Telling,

the great storm each man each woman walks as if beneath

a second sky – this and this of course and this – the rain

rains down like rain everywhere and all over

we don’t know that we don’t know what’s been done to us: consciousness

kept like a fly in a jar, a small hope buzzing the glass:

What is it, what — is it, what — what is it?
