The Why and the What

Don’t ask people
the why of this
(whatever this you have in mind –
the news, the views, the cosmos) –
They would like to tell you
but they can’t know

Don’t ask the what either –
The few of them that have a sense
most probably won’t have the words.

Ask yourself instead .
And wait till all the voices
that speak in second person,
and those that speak in third,
have settled down

When they are done,
you’ll find the I Am,
and that will tell you
all you need to know.
