we were born inside the shadow, born inside the night
we are also said to be in the silver shafts of light
someone else was certain
we arrived upon a train
the tracks of which have vanished in the mists that follow rain
does it really matter
the how and when and where?
is this really so profound
we ask it everywhere?
or is it just perfuctory
a place to mark a check
and what we're really asking
is what the hell and what the heck?
