Some Questions.... Poem by Yaritza Florencio

If its not a poem, then it wont rhyme?
If you have no clock, do you lose time?
If you don’t talk, does that mean you lost your words?
If it flies, does it always mean it’s a bird?

If you never write, have you ever written?
If its name is England, is it still Great Britain?
If you have never done anything wrong, have you ever made a mistake?
If you like to dream, have you ever actually been awake?


If you never see letters, can you still learn to read?
If you never run, will you ever know speed?
If you never see the sea, have you ever seen the shores?
If you never give something away, was it really ever yours?

If I tell you I love you, will you say it back?
If you have stayed of the road, are you ever off track?
If I write you another poem, will you figure out they are about you?
If I say your name in one, will that serve as a clue?

If I separate a five and a four, is it still nine?
If I give you my heart, does it prove that its mine?
