MY INQUIRY do you piss first thing when you get up do you walk down some stairs do you have something stuck in your head do you argue with yourself worth it or not do you smile as if nothing mattered or as if something mattered is this what you do? do you approach do you keep your distance do you try to always bear in mind a distinction between the actual and the metaphorical fire do you feel reverence for both and fear do you respect the marks of fire found on others is this what you do? do you come home moody and thoughtful do you sprawl on the couch and if you do what is there before you actually before you and what is before your mind only to ease or trouble it do you examine it all and do you recall me along with the others is this what you do?
