Questions, Conquests, & Conservation

Hunter Workman

Amorous?
Enamorous, really.
Armored to keep it at bay.

Powerless?
Merely empowered less.
Emperor in my own way.

Progress?
I've only regressed.
Regretfully on and on.

Transgress?
I mean no offense.
My offer is long gone.

Careless?
I couldn't care less.
Be careful not to stare.

Nonsense?
I have no sense.
Hardly a cent to spare.

Substance?
I'll take a stance.
Stand in place forever.

Endurance?
Let's end this.
Knowing me is no small endeavor.
