I am asked a question.
My life asks me a question.
I suggest a better question,
one I like more the sound of,
with more pleasing grammar.
My life humors me.
My life asks me that.
I don’t know an answer.
Life is stubborn and clever.
Life says: you must choose.
I can’t choose.
I leave the question.
I go into the garden and weed.
My life weeds with me.
The knees of my pants are stained.
