Fundamentally
The answer
Is enough to silence the questions.
Poetically done
Unless pain is conceived as something literal.
But no one else sees this pain as literal.
Imagined pain.
Because God imagined me here
Because I imagined you said something to me.
I imagined you mattered
I imagined I didn’t hurt you
Until I realized
You imagine also.
I imagined a long life
I imagined I could forget pain
I imagined I could give children my genetics
Who wouldn’t harbor my pain.
I imagined I would create something
For something other than loneliness.
I imagined I was better than Jesus.
Perhaps Jesus just has more groupies than me though.
I imagined I sat in a corner
Though I did
The dream was more to my liking.
I imagine and imagine
In dreams.
I see things
In a hazy fashion.
I imagine young kids
Almost as young as me.
I imagine someone cares
I imagine
That finality isn’t so sure of itself
That the answer
Has some questions of its own.
