Several times a day
As one comes to rise
If someone is sitting near me
They ask “Why the sigh?”

As if to mark something is wrong
They often wonder what brings it about
Whose to say that something is
Wrong, when something could be right?

Whose to say it is wrong or right
And not just a big exhale?
Why must every motion mean something
And not just be what it is?

*sigh*
