- Who will I be tomorrow
- that I am not today?
- If tomorrow I awoke
- not able to see the words
- on this page,
- would it suffice merely to touch its varying textures?
- If the next day I awoke
- not able to feel the softness
- of my sheets,
- would hearing my mother's reassuring voice be enough for me to continue?
- If yet the next day I awoke
- not able to hear the continuous
- beatings in my ear,
- would the sweet scent of jasmine tea draw me to the cup?
- If the next day I awoke
- not able to smell the earthiness of this pencil,
- would the taste of life make me want more?
