We Are Strange
how high is the sky?
how warm is the air?
how strong is wind?
can we fly without?
celestial wings
how deep is the river?
how cold is the water?
how strong is the current?
why do we always need?
a search warrant
why do we still jump in?
why do we still try to swim?
do we want to know?
the answers

I think in the end, after all the weather reports and Consumer Reports and five-star recommendations, human beings still often act on impulse. They choose what speaks to them. Today I bought a dress on impulse, something I wouldn’t usually do. The last several years I thought clothes were so ugly…but this dress was beautiful, and made in India, by the way! 🙂
I love your poem, Ivor! I hope my interpretation is not too far off the mark!
