a short poem about questions because I hate them

do you know that feeling

when you’re just existing

and suddenly, troublingly

there’s far too many questions?

“Hey, what’s that you’re drawing?”

“For your hugs, I feel a longing…”

but you don’t know what you’re drawing

for nobody’s touch, you’re longing

all you truly long for

is the comfort of home

with your silly splatoon videos

and tightly shut door

when you want to silence the questions

inside your own head

but by the time you find an answer

that train of thought has gone far off the rails

and you know, a spiral it entails.

"Upon my word you’re a rum ‘un, Moon," he said. "Sometimes you seem as hard as nails and then you talk so that one thinks you’re almost human, and then, just as one thinks one’s misjudged you and you have a heart after all, you come out with something that just shocks one. I suppose that’s what they call a cynic."

"I haven’t deeply considered the matter," smiled George Moon, "but if to look truth in the face and not resent it when it’s unpalatable, and take human nature as you find it, smiling when it’s absurd and grieved without exaggeration when it’s pitiful, is to be cynical, then I suppose I’m a cynic. Mostly human nature is both absurd and pitiful, but if life has taught you tolerance you find in it more to smile at than to weep."

– W. Somerset Maugham, from “The Back of Beyond,” Collected Short Stories, Volume 4 (Penguin, 1963)
