Analysis of Multiple times...

julie leyraud 1960 (USA)



Do I laugh or cry...
Some times

Have I loved or hurt...
at times

Am I happy or sad...
often times

Can I be healthy or ill...
with time

Will I be wealthy or poor...
over time

Is there peace or war...
all time

Shall I worship or rebel...
equal time

What remains Live or Die
ONE TIME
