Query Finds No Answers

Wallace Dean LaBenne

What's up? What's new?
How do you do?
The query serves as lancers.
What's false? What's true?
How much or few?
The query finds no answers.
What's good? What's bad?
How do you add?
The query serves as lancers.
What's sane? What's mad?
How glum or glad?
The query finds no answers.
What's weak? What's might?
How do you fight?
The query serves as lancers.
What's dim? What's bright?
How fresh or trite?
The query finds no answers.
