One of my colleagues gave me this one a while ago.

Found it just now, sorting through stuff in the thing for stuffing stuff in. (It wasn't the only poem in there.) The colleague got ahold of it in a workshop. I suppose they wrote "answer questioning" poems.


Afraid So

Is it starting to rain?
Did the check bounce?
Are we out of coffee?
Is this going to hurt?
Could you lose your job?
Did the glass break?
Was the baggage misrouted?
Will this go on my record?
Are you missing much money?
Was anyone injured?
Is the traffic heavy?
Do I have to remove my clothes?
Will it leave a scar?
Must you go?
Will this be in the papers?
Is my time up already?
Are we seeing the understudy?
Will it affect my eyesight?
Did all the books burn?
Are you still smoking?
Is the bone broken?
Will I have to put him to sleep?
Was the car totaled?
Am I responsible for these charges?
Are you contagious?
Will we have to wait long?
Is the runway icy?
Was the gun loaded?
Could this cause side effects?
Do you know who betrayed you?
Is the wound infected?
Are we lost?
Will it get any worse?

-- Jeanne Marie Beaumont

These could almost be used as a particularly dark and abstract substitute for the Oblique Strategies deck. Hmm...

I like that one. Even if "Do you know who betrayed you?" is a real clunker. I'd have told Jeanne Marie if she'd asked.

"Did all the books burn?" was my least favorite. I like that she tosses in betrayal, as the list gets longer (and maybe more dire/personal), but the wondering who--- eh. It should be about betrayal where you know who.

yeah that was the other clunker--the books one. i just thought betrayal never worked. i get the idea of throwing it in but that word's an anvil. in a bad way.

i can see that. and multi-syllabically heavy, as well as vaguely-abstractly--hugely so. (but who am i to talk, with those adverbs?)
