You know


A drop.

Is it rain,
Or tears

You know the answer.

A cry.

Is it joyful,
Or painful?

You know the answer.

A shout.

Is it alarmed,
Or surprised?

You know the answer.

A fall.

Is it intentional,
Or an accident?

You know the answer.

A box.

Is it a coffin,
Or a present?

Does it matter?

No.

The questions don’t matter.

It’s how you Perceive them.

And you know.
