Analysis of Wen The Ink Still Runs

Are we truly masters
of the word

Are we really in charge
of what gets heard

Are we truly finished
at periods end

Are we really past the point
of starting again

Are we truly out of sync
or out of time

Are we really tired
of questioning why

Are we truly silent
if that next breath comes

Are we really alone,
—when the ink still runs
