whispers

are you whispering in lower case?
or oversensitive to noise?
do you miss the dirty rain of home
as you gaze out at the desert boys?
are you trying to be sunburned or
attempting to stay dry?
will you ever ask who fancies you?
they all do, as do i.

do you eat your greens aggressively,
with passion or eyes down alone?
would you say your strength's more physical
or is stamina what runs you home?
are you mixing silk from hairy ears,
can you beautify a tuneless fool?
would you ever gamble on a stare?
do you keep some sort of no-eyes rule?

have you plotted out your ten year plan?
is the future cluttered up with sighs?
is your power derived from deep within
or your past the wisdom in your eyes?
do you sleep curled up in an oversized bed?
are you comfortable rattling around your flat?
is there room for anyone else in there?
am i out of order for whispering that?
