What? Are you?
Tucker Read 1997
What are you?
An interested stew?
The rocks don’t move,
why have you?
You’ve been sold feet,
And hands too.
What are you?
A drawn out clue?
The trees stand still,
why can’t you?
You are connected,
Id, confected.
What are you?
And what is true?
A deceived retriever,
An achieved receiver?
Relax beyond thought,
That’s what’s taught.
