i search for things i never could
find, for i’m blind to its answers.
looking for comparisons and contrasts,
for synonyms, homonyms and antonyms,
for BOTH, NOT, OR, AND, NEAR,
and all that i could find in between.
i search for things i need not find,
for its answers i know to be unkind.
like looking for hellos but finding goodbyes,
like waiting for “too” but hearing “thank you”,
like searching for “you” to complete me…
