[Inspired by "The Book of Questions" by Pablo Neruda]

How quickly does honey melt
in an angry mouth?

Whose art is more concrete
than a house painter’s?

Why is the track we don’t take
the one to Eden Station?

Is it more painful to flog another
with a chain or a tongue?

If she powders her face and colors her mouth,
is she free?
