Question: Isn't this whole silly poem a question!?
infatuation!?

do you know that special someone
who draws you in beyond your interests
in health and sanity!?
with the inexorable force of sex!?

and every fiber of your being is saying
you will never meet another one like her slash him
and you very well may not
to your benefit or detriment!?

and he slash she’s somehow flawed – too perfect
from the beginning to the end – a disaster!?
a woman slash man to throw your well-organized
and comfortable life completely out of kilter!?
he slash she smiles
and you can feel the beguiling beginning!?

you see the perfect mouth
that perfect form to fit you own embrace!?
the strength and the weakness of her slash his calm!?
his slash her fervor – the sparkle of her slash his teeth!?

a wilder and stronger love
than you have ever known before!?
at least since the last time around!?
and the time before that!?

he slash she will come to dominate your most intimate
and private moments and your money!?
you can already see it in her slash his eyes!?
as he slash she stands there before you
with her slash his liberated confident stance
hands firmly clasped to his slash her hips
feet slightly apart – body language
pounding in your brain!?

her slash his chin juts out
his slash her hair flashes in the light
she slash he breathes a misty breath across your eyes
and has the world turning his slash her way
from that moment
and you don’t even know her slash his name!?

and did you wish this to happen!?
didn’t you!?
didn't you fall right into it!?
as if on automatic pilot –
essentially leaped!?
but did you ever stop to wonder
if this particular one could give you love
in return!? probably not
you didn’t want love in return
aren't you seeking an object
on which to pour out your passion
and a toy to place in a bottle
a trophy to place in your trophy case
with your other awards and conquests!?

are these love affairs not born
deeply in your person!?
born of the calm
and the obsession!?
or the feverish ego and
the calculated interest
despite the seeming
spontaneity!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You amaze me!. Why aren't you a 'published' poet!?
This ticks all the right boxes for me - it is clever, and so readable - and your "he slash she, she slash he" is a stroke of genius!.!.!.!.!.even if it did begin to irritate me after a while!
How do you make it seem so effortless!?

I sense you are not the author of this poem!.!.!.are you!? If you are, it is a very remarkable poem!.!.!.if not, the answer to your question is "yes", the entire poem is a question, but then that is the form of the poem!. If this is "not" your poem, next time put the poet's name at the bottom; if it "is" your poem, and you choose to ask such an odd question about your own poem, then tell the audience "isn't this whole silly poem I wrote a question!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com
