      August 29, 2015Nathaniel SchottI Asked

      I asked the orange why it was orange,
      And it faded and turned moldy.
      I asked the computer why it was smart
      And it said error number 73.
      I asked the dolphin why it was happy
      And it turned and swam away.
      I asked the cactus to make a fruit
      And it did and the fruit tasted like gold.
      I asked the clouds why they were white
      And they darkened and blew away.
      I asked myself why everything turned away
      And the clouds blew back.
      The dolphins were happy
      The computer was fixed,
      And I kept quiet
      And everything was perfect.
