Random Questions, Random Answers, and Random Thoughts, but are they really that random?

 I  was walking downtown york Maine to get a slushy

 Why is there a deformity in the ground? 

 My arm was cut wide open

What were you doing on May 21st 2022?

The flower started to grow

 I  didn't want to come,  I  still don't 

What are you looking forward to

How come you weren't here yesterday?

Nothing

Why are you in pain?

Why? 

How?

 I ?

You? 

 I ?

How?

You? 

Why? 

I'm lost.

confused. 

these questions are strange, muddled, disformed, almost like a maze  

But if you look closer once again you’ll see that the answers were there all along

sometimes you just have to dig around to find the answers 

or do some organizing

and it won't always a walk in the park

but sometimes it'll be worth it 

and sometimes it wont.

That's up for you to decide.
