Analysis of New Questions Found
Just before dawn…
the answers came
And dressed in drag,
they spoke my name
They claimed their place
though none was offered
They stole a space,
their masks on backwards
Just before dawn…
the answers came
Stalking my query
with falsehoods named
But in my wake,
their lies would drown
The truth unanswered
—new questions found
