A POSED QUESTION'S ANSWER

Folder: 
JOURNAL #14

someone asked me once

Do you feel gifted?

and I answered aloud that I supposed

I mean truly am I

because I can describe a nose as more than

just a nose

because I can align my thoughts to the

boundaries of the chartered prose

because cognizant visions assail me

like fond memories in droves

truly my answer must lie in the vague rather

flat words of I merely suppose

how else could I unveil

what only the other side of my soul

really knows................
