Is There One?

is there one?

he asks this same question,

almost constantly,

almost chronically,

is there evidence,
is there not?

playing the spiritual role
even though his tends
to the idea that absence
of evidence is evidence
of absence,

but what does he know?

he has no omni to speak of,
he hasn't the extensive theological,
philosophical or scientific training
required to truly draw that conclusion,

and yet for some reason,

he has his moments where he's zen,
one with everything as if Buddha
had ordered a pizza or a hot dog,

there is no fear,
there is no worry,

there is only love,
there is only contentment,

but the question still nags him,
eats at his sodden drywall soul
like a black mold infestation,
is there one?

he and the world may never know

I love this mystery and how it leads to so many other!
Well penned :-)

that last chronic question. Bugger.

This is very well spoken, it's measured in quantum units. And yet tangible, clear.
Nice line breaks.
Did you mean "his tends" or his tend...?
