(125) June 28, 2010: What Is Is What What Is

WHAT IS IS WHAT WHAT IS

No matter what I say,
What is is what what is.
A circumstance chalked up to Chance
Is just the what that is.

Exactly what that is,
Is melted in the Stream.
And how it flows I cannot know
My dullness too extreme.

The Stream is not a stream,
The Flow is not a flow,
This metaphor is nothing more
Than saying I don’t know.
