Are You

by George Hoerner

a #
like 3
or 8

a ?
explaining?
answering?

maybe *
flagging notes
on yourself

into
the $’s
a little
or a lot

perchance
a ( )
or just (
open or
) closed

are you
a 0
a 10

perhaps able to
see yourself
as < >
or =

an explorer
searching
for ∞

are you
a !
or a .

in the
scheme
a + or –

able to
speak the
“a, b, c,…., s”
and leave
the 1, 2, 3,…s
to others

do you ∫
or ÷
people

capable of speaking the
Alpha, Beta, Kappa
repertoire

capable of
telling
the truth?

"do you ∫ or ÷ people" -- Very nice indeed. And, to echo Gabe, all of this is incredibly clever.
