Poem: Proposition

Poem: Proposition

With a smartphone in hand
if you ask a question
in an age where you can
get answers to anything

even so, throughout history
for the questions
that have been sought after
no one can provide an answer

that is how to use one's life
while using one's life
about how to use one's life
we ponder

on a long-awaited
refreshing morning

Poem: Proposition

With a smartphone in hand,
ask a question—
and in this age,
answers come for almost anything.

And yet, across all times and places,
there are questions
that no one
has ever answered.

It is the question of how to use a life—
while spending that very life,
we keep turning our thoughts
to how it should be spent.

On a long-awaited,
refreshingly clear morning.
