who are you reader
why are you here
still grasping a dream
or running from fear

do you like coffee
or do you like tea
is the holocaust real
or is it a lie from tv

do you wear pjs
or do you sleep nude
can i ask about your penis
or would that be rude

is your poetry written
and will it be lost
when the candles are lit
before the last vodka toast

do you drink pinot
which i myself don't prefer
if there was no god
would you consider merlot

are you a stranger?
am i one to you?
will all be forgiven
before we both turn pale blue
