Analysis of What? Are you?
Tucker Read 1997
What are you?
An interested stew?
The rocks don’t move,
why have you?
You’ve been sold feet,
And hands too.
What are you?
A drawn out clue?
The trees stand still,
why can’t you?
You are connected,
Id, confected.
What are you?
And what is true?
A deceived retriever,
An achieved receiver?
Relax beyond thought,
That’s what’s taught.
