What is a question?
= a shift of position?
=               ?

a shift of position
We mostly agree that question is among the best poetic machines.
Whoever follow the ? goes down a rabbit hole. (click to follow)

What is a question?
is this a different question? Whoever follow the ? goes down a rabbit hole. (click to follow)





































































A1
What is a question?
= a desire for (non)answer?
=               ?














































a1
a desire for (non)answer
or just the desire. Looking out to the other end, looking out into the mesmerizing sea through a window, either on the 4th of a steel-concrete composite building or the rim of a dream glass you drink from. Salty. The taste of it comes from not the process of salinization but its brimming with clues. Like the sound of waves, nausea, a prophecy?














































a2
a prophecy
does not need the corresponding future to be valid. In fact its shelf life is as short as the duration it is pronounced. Nobody is going to remember a prophecy, even if so, by the time it reaches the will be it proclaims, it has already becomes either the truth or a lie. Prophecy is a prophecy in its temporary impossibility to be verified. To poise, to be perishable?

Cassandra’s unfortunate prophecies are unfortunate exactly in that they are cooked raw in the first place they lose their flavors.














































a3
perishable
Light a fire and burn everything.

The fire lasts for 6 days, and on the 7th, finally, we begin to read the ashes. But, must light a fire first, must deny with a statement, must say yes? with the double-entendre of a seductive no. Must celebrate the afterimage in the shape of the swirling tail.














































a4
Yes?
Yes. But you have to embrace the risk of the overwhelming expansion to ask, yes, put the bishop on an open diagonal.























B1
What makes a question a question?
= ?
=               ?















































b2
?
a question tossed into an air so dense it begins to resemble something intrinsically celestial, and tentatively radiant.

the impossible duration before landing        on that soft dot of extinction.
Question: would it be a mirror if we hollow it out like a period?















































b3
period?
static―Resulting in a reflective surface, surprisingly. A question mark could be used as a period in the sense that they both prevent the gravitational failing of a sentence in to silence. Let the sentence remains cut-off fresh rather than obscured. To poise, to be perishable?















































C1
What does a question indicate?
= elsewhere?
=               ?















































c2
elsewhere?
if not elsewhere at least a departure from here. Where now? says the door.















































c3
Where now?
To repeat any question consecutively till the point you exhaust its perks that hold, you will arrive at the heart of being a question. Repeat yourself consecutively until you exhaust yourself and you will arrive at the heart of being a question. Where now?















































c4
Where now?
Someone this question is being positioned toward like a hand, cold, on the clock. Not the kind of hand you can hold onto your kiss gently, but you can trace it with your curious gaze. Curiosity is crucial. Where now?























c5
Where now?
How we disappear, again, with the answer?















































c6
Where now?
How we disappear, again, with the answer?











c6
answer?
Could be, but it is no more than one of the keys. A wish has the same procreative power. For an individual trapped in the depth of a disheartened night, both a question and a wish could move the moon into the center of the room. The key is, once the inquiry is made, an alternative begins to take place in the speaker. All magic is performative.















































D1
A question is?
= the motion of a tail-end rises lightly, airy?
=               ?















































d2
the motion of a tail-end rises lightly, airy
as a vase. It is necessary that a question offers a way into itself, like how a secret is a whale. The major difference is in the breathing, its being held, and the gesture. Which gesture?















































d3
gesture
: You start peeling consonants off        all possible languages, just the way you would peel an orange, patiently, carefully

off its white strands before you place them between your lips. Now, you let the wind interpose your thoughts, and make an empty sign. Round, waxing full in reflection and refraction and dissonance. But you hear it over your head. A crowd of crows? How come it is 4 in the morning again.















































d4
A crowd of crows
reconstruct your imagination of your own instance of sky. This moment, your are convinced that this is the true body of question. Like how sleep finds itself in stones. Questions attacking your daytime by replacing all the statements and night with long shadows overflown therefrom. They scream so illegibly yet intensional enough to frustrate you at your illiteracy. Just a little. They are carpets of dark leaves swept into midair and despite your anticipation they never go down. Dark blare looming. A crown of crows. You think, but could only think crows. Then all of a sudden your hear a crush. Where now?
