Rudimentary Ruminations

 

have I given out too many pieces

have I saved up enough of myself

do I push it to keep it in motion

do I tuck it away on a shelf

can I keep it together much longer

can it hold at the seams and not burst

are the things I'm collecting all worthless

are they going to take it all first

what can I do to resolve it

what will be my magic trick

how does it all fit together

how can I get it to stick

when will I know if it's working

when will it be less intense

should I sit back and give it a moment

should I agonize till it makes sense

will it fill up with all that is needed

will my lifeboat capsize in the squall

is it going to be as it has been

is the question do I have it all
