waxing curious

How will you be remembered? How did you deal with pain? How did you enjoy life? What did you do to challenge yourself that no one ever knew about? What secrets do you carry with you to the grave? What did you learn in the first decade of life and in every decade after after that? Do you still see yourself as perfect? Are you childish? Do you have a hard time telling yourself no? Can you see the forces working against you? Do you take assistance for granted? Do you say thank you and mean it? What was the last charitable thing you did just for the sake of charity and nothing else? Do you still see a way out? Do you have thoughts of losing control? Do you feel you fucked up? Have you wasted time? Are you living the life you dreamed about as a kid? What makes you cry? Is you could run away, would you? What makes you happy? What thoughts make a smile or a tear appear? Do you still have the perfect song in your head? Do you still think famous people will like you? Do you have the wardrobe you always talked about wearing? Are you as smart as you need to be? What do you have to do to forgive yourself? How do you celebrate your achievements? Do you miss random people from your past for reasons that you can't explain? How organized are you? Are you a cowboy or cowgirl? Have you read a thousand books? Have you traveled a million miles? Have you met a million people? Do you think your dead relatives watch over you? Do you think they are pleased that you are everything they lived for? Have you invented anything? Are you as sexy as your lover's eyes say you are? Is it worth making it to the top? Do you have pictures of every step of the way? Have you become everything you said you were going to avoid? Does it feel better? What makes your eyes close in pleasure? What gives you goose bumps? Do you remember the hypnotic nature of a camp fire? What would you give up to have it all the way it was before? Do you feel cheated? Is being alone worth singing about? Do they think you're crazy? Do you think you're crazy? What do you wish they could see? Are you trying to help? Why do you still get scared? Do you feel you are going to start tomorrow? Does it bring you comfort? Are they really friends? What happened to Irene Cara? How much more can they do? How often do you see something that you can't find words to describe? How often are you filled with bliss to the point of dancing? Could you walk away from it all without looking back? Would you smile? Why can't you scream when you need to? What's the worst thing they could do? Does your imagination still work? When was the last time you bought a 5000 piece puzzle and put it together? When was the last time you saw your elementary school and played on the playground? How many people are on your list? What was your first phone number in your name? How many people over your limit did you go? Do you remember when no one had a cell phone? Do you remember when everyone was friends? Do you remember when the worst kind of person you could think of was just a bank robber? What is your plan? What happens to all the books when we're gone? Have you ever eaten a whole melon by yourself? Do you think people are watching? Do you still laugh when people fall down? If you were asked, could you do it? How far are you willing to go? Where is your home? Have you ever heard Cajun Mandolin by Bill Monroe? When was the last time you laughed so hard that you couldn't stop? Would you ever be able to do it again? Did you learn your lesson? Did you ever suck on your knee when you were a kid? Why does ear wax smell? Why does everything on your body smell but boogers? Do you have a great story that you never tell anyone? What was the funniest thing you ever did? Can anyone hear you? Could you stand alone? Do we remember criminals because they had the courage to act and we don't? Where does your envy live? How easy is it to get lost? Do you remember any of it?
